Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 0 N/A Optional toppings: chocolate sauce, whipped cream, strawberries
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and granulated sugar. Set aside for coating the fried chimichangas later.
Step 2
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place 1/4 cup of chocolate chips slightly off-center on the tortilla.
Step 3
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly into a burrito shape to secure the chocolate filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chocolate chips.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat to approximately 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a tiny piece of tortilla into the oil—it should sizzle immediately.
Step 5
Carefully place one or two chimichangas seam-side down into the hot oil. Fry for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip them as needed.
Step 6
Remove the chimichangas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 7
While still warm, brush each chimichanga lightly with melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
Step 8
To serve, dust the chimichangas with powdered sugar and place a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside them. Drizzle chocolate sauce, add whipped cream, or garnish with strawberries if desired.
Step 9
Enjoy immediately while the chimichangas are warm and the chocolate filling is gooey.
