Cheesecake Chimichangas with Strawberry Topping



Cheesecake Chimichangas with Strawberry Topping


Ingredients:

 
12 small (6") flour tortillas
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese
1/4 c. sugar

Topping
2 c. strawberries, chopped
2/3 c. sugar


Directions:


  • Toss strawberries and sugar together, set aside. These can be done up to 12 hours ahead. The longer they sit, the more juice!
  • Mix the sugar and cream cheese thoroughly. 
  • In a small pan, heat a cup of oil.
  • Take a flour tortilla and put a dollop of cream cheese in the middle.
  • Then fold into a little packet.
  • Flip it over and let sit for a minute while you make more. This lets the flaps bend a bit and the packets will stay closed while you put them into the oil. 
  • Drop the packets into hot oil, careful not to burn yourself! Let them cook until browned and a little stiff. 
  • Flip the Chimichangas over. If the flaps start to lift, you can press them down with the spatula. 
  • Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, if desired.
  •  Serve with strawberries and enjoy!
