How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Chimichangas

Ingredients:

  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • Oil for frying
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Directions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth. Fold in the blueberries gently.

  2. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese and blueberry mixture in the center of each flour tortilla.

  3. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a chimichanga. Make sure the filling is sealed inside.

  4. Heat oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

  5. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chimichangas into the oil, seam side down. Fry until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

  7. Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
