Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 7 -9 chimichangas
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 7-9 small flour tortillas
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for topping
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Caramel sauce for drizzling
  • Chocolate sauce for drizzling

Method
 

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Warm the Oil:
  1. Pour enough vegetable oil into a deep saucepan to cover the base by about 2 inches.
  2. Heat the oil over medium heat. Test the oil temperature by dropping in a small piece of tortilla; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
Assemble the Chimichangas:
  1. Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling onto the lower portion of each tortilla.
  2. Roll the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Secure them with toothpicks to keep the filling in place during frying.
Fry the Chimichangas:
  1. Carefully place the assembled chimichangas into the hot oil. Fry for 2-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Use a slotted spatula to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Coat in Cinnamon Sugar:
  1. In a shallow bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
  2. While the chimichangas are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
Add the Finishing Touches:
  1. Drizzle each chimichanga with caramel sauce and melted chocolate for an indulgent finish.
Serve:
  1. Serve warm and enjoy this decadent dessert.

Notes

  • Keep the oil temperature steady for even frying; adjust the heat as needed.
  • Use toothpicks to ensure the tortillas stay closed while frying.
  • These chimichangas are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated in the oven for a crispy finish.
