Ingredients
- 6 pieces Tortillas (8-inch size)
- 21 ounces Cherry pie filling
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Step 2
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese onto the center of each tortilla.
Step 3
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese.
Step 4
Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll up tightly to form chimichangas. Secure with toothpicks if needed to keep them closed.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Carefully place 2-3 chimichangas seam-side down into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the chimichangas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
Step 9
Brush each chimichanga with the melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Step 10
Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
