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
- 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.
- 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.
- Repeat: Continue assembling the remaining tortillas with the filling.
- Heat the Oil: In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Fry the Chimichangas: Fry each chimichanga until golden brown on all sides. Once fried, drain on paper towels.
- Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: While the chimichangas are still hot, roll them in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon prepared in a shallow dish.
- Serve Warm: For an extra festive touch, serve with additional strawberry jam or fresh strawberries on top.
