Bring a touch of sweetness to your Christmas celebrations with these Decadent Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas. Wrapped in a crispy, golden tortilla and coated with a cinnamon-sugar blend, these delightful treats are bursting with a creamy strawberry filling, perfect for adding a festive sparkle to your holiday dessert table.

Ingredients

  • 6 (8-inch) soft flour tortillas

  • 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)

  • 1/4 cup sour cream

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup strawberries, diced

  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1/4 cup sugar, for coating

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon, for coating

  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, 1 tablespoon sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in diced strawberries and strawberry jam.

  2. Assemble the Chimichangas: Place a tortilla on a flat surface and spoon about 1/4 cup of the cream cheese mixture onto the center. Fold in the sides and roll up the tortilla like a burrito, securing with a toothpick if needed.

  3. Repeat: Continue assembling the remaining tortillas with the filling.

  4. Heat the Oil: In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  5. Fry the Chimichangas: Fry each chimichanga until golden brown on all sides. Once fried, drain on paper towels.

  6. Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: While the chimichangas are still hot, roll them in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon prepared in a shallow dish.

  7. Serve Warm: For an extra festive touch, serve with additional strawberry jam or fresh strawberries on top.
