Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Caramel sauce (for drizzle)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy. Fold in the whipped topping until smooth.
- Spread & Roll: Lay out a tortilla, spread a generous amount of the cheesecake filling in the center, then roll it up tight like a burrito.
- Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and granulated sugar in a bowl. Brush each chimichanga with melted butter, then roll it through the cinnamon sugar mix.
- Crisp to Perfection: Lightly pan-fry each roll for 2–3 minutes per side until crispy and golden, or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
- Top & Serve: Drizzle with caramel sauce and dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese for a smoother filling.
- Roll the tortillas tightly to prevent filling from leaking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
