I’ve been making this at least once a week for the past month! I can’t seem to keep it in the house.

Folding and Sealing:
- Carefully fold the bottom half of the tortilla upwards, covering the filling.
- Then, fold in the sides of the tortilla towards the center.
- Starting from the bottom, tightly roll the tortilla with the filling inside to create a cylinder-shaped chimichanga.
- Repeat this process with the remaining tortilla and filling to make another chimichanga.
-
Frying the Chimichangas:
- Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot enough (around 350°F), carefully add the chimichangas to the pan.
- Fry the chimichangas for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
-
Drain and Enjoy:
- Once golden brown, remove the chimichangas from the hot oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
-
Serve and Devour!
- Dust the warm chimichangas with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
-
Top it Off (Optional):
- Serve your warm Strawberry Cream Cheese Chimichangas with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, fresh fruit slices, caramel sauce, chopped nuts, or any combination you enjoy!
