These Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas are the ultimate dessert mashup! Imagine a creamy cheesecake filling and sweet strawberry pie filling wrapped in a crispy, cinnamon-sugar-coated tortilla.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strawberry pie filling

For the Chimichangas:

  • 8 flour tortillas (8-inch size works best)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

3. Assemble the Chimichangas

  • Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture onto each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Add a spoonful of strawberry pie filling in the center of each tortilla.
  • Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly. Place the chimichangas seam side down in the prepared baking dish.

4. Butter and Sugar Coating

  • Brush the tops of the chimichangas with melted butter.
  • In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it evenly over the chimichangas.

5. Bake to Perfection

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chimichangas are golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve and Enjoy!

Let the chimichangas cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with a drizzle of chocolate sauce, whipped cream, or extra strawberry pie filling.

Notes

Tips for Success

  • Use Soft Tortillas: Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave or on a skillet to make them easier to roll.
  • Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can cause the chimichangas to burst open during baking.
  • Customize the Filling: Swap strawberry pie filling for blueberry, cherry, or apple pie filling.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the chimichangas and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
