Indulge in these delicious Cherry Cheesecake Chimichangas, featuring a creamy cheesecake filling wrapped in a golden tortilla and fried to perfection. Topped with a cinnamon-sugar coating, they make for a delightful dessert!
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sugar (for coating)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (for coating)
- Oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture onto each tortilla, leaving some space at the edges. Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling in the center of each tortilla and roll them up tightly like a burrito.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully fry each chimichanga in the hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
