Ingredients

For the Chimichangas:

  • 8 pieces flour tortillas
  • 8 ounces strawberry cream cheese spread or plain cream cheese
  • 1 cup chocolate spread (Nutella, Hershey's, etc.)
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries (trimmed and sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Instructions:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cream cheese spread and chocolate spread. Mix until well blended and smooth.
  • Lay out your flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the cream cheese and chocolate mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with fresh strawberries.
  • Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, then roll them up tightly from the bottom to the top.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Carefully place the rolled chimichangas in the hot skillet, seam side down. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • While the chimichangas are frying, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
  • Once the chimichangas are golden brown, remove them from the skillet and immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Place the chimichangas on a serving plate, and garnish with additional sliced strawberries and a drizzle of chocolate sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Feel free to experiment with different fruits like bananas or raspberries in the filling.
