A delicate yet simple Dessert that is great for gatherings:
What you need:
1 package of cream chease
1 cup of sour cream
1/4 cup of sugar
2 cups of fresh strawberries- hulled and halved
12 small flour tortillas
brown sugar
cinnamon
oil for frying
Step 1
Mix cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, 1 cup of strawberries in a standing mixer. About 2 minutes and until smooth.
In a separate bowl combine brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
Step 2
Place strawberry cream cheese mixture on one side of a tortilla and roll. As you roll half way, fold in sides as if you were making a burrito. Try not to over fill otherwise you will have the mixture ooze out of the sides.
Once rolled, to keep in intact- use a toothpicks to hold everything in place
Step 3
Heat oil on medium high heat in a small sauce pan. Make sure to cover the entire bottom of the saucepan and then some (about 2 inches). Once hot (and I mean hot and bubbly) begin to fry. I tend to get excited and rush and end up with soggy chimichangas. I timed its to about 2 minutes on one side and 1 1/2 on the other. Once browned throughout.
Step 4
Let cool for a couple of minutes. Carefully roll your fried chimichanga in the sugar mixture and place on a cookie sheet to dry and cool off
Step 5
Dress with the remaining strawberries.
Step 6
Remove toothpicks and Enjoy!
