Recipe Information
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
- optional (for serving) whipped cream
- optional (for serving) chocolate syrup
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Fold the chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
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.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
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.
Immediately roll the fried chimichangas in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly. Repeat with the remaining chimichangas.
Serve the chocolate chimichangas warm, optionally topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for added decadence.
