Recipe Information
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
- N/A Optional toppings: chocolate sauce, whipped cream, strawberries
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and granulated sugar. Set aside for coating the fried chimichangas later.
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place 1/4 cup of chocolate chips slightly off-center on the tortilla.
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.
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.
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.
Remove the chimichangas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While still warm, brush each chimichanga lightly with melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
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.
Enjoy immediately while the chimichangas are warm and the chocolate filling is gooey.
