Ingredients

• 6 pieces flour tortillas
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 cups vegetable oil
• 0 optional (for serving) whipped cream
• 0 optional (for serving) chocolate syrup

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Fold the chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 3

Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chocolate filling in the center of the tortilla. Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it up tightly to create a sealed wrap.

Step 4

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Carefully place 1-2 chimichangas into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chimichangas and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Immediately roll the fried chimichangas in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly. Repeat with the remaining chimichangas.

Step 9

Serve the chocolate chimichangas warm, optionally topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for added decadence.
