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:

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth. Fold in the blueberries gently.
-
Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese and blueberry mixture in the center of each flour tortilla.
-
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.
-
Heat oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
-
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.
-
Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
-
Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
How to Serve Blueberry Cheesecake Chimichangas
You can serve these chimichangas warm, dusted with powdered sugar for a sweet touch. They go well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Enjoy them as a fun dessert after dinner or as a treat during brunch!
How to Store Blueberry Cheesecake Chimichangas
To store leftover chimichangas, let them cool completely. Place them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet to regain their crispiness.
Tips to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Chimichangas

- You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries; just thaw and drain the frozen ones before use.
- Keep an eye on the oil temperature to avoid burning the chimichangas.
Variation
You can try adding other fruits like strawberries or raspberries to the filling for a different flavor. If you like a fun twist, sprinkle some chocolate chips into the mixture too!
