Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup strawberries huller and thin sliced
  • 6 soft taco-sized flour tortillas
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, greek yogurt, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Stir in the strawberries until evenly distributed in the cheesecake mixture.
  • Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly between the 6 tortillas. Spread the cheesecake down the center of the tortilla, but not quite to the edges. Then fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll it up like a burrito.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chimichangas in the pan (starting seam side down) and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  • While the tortillas cook, mix together 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
  • As soon as the chimis finish frying, immediately place them into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and roll until coated.
  • Serve warm. If you want, you can even sprinkle a little more cinnamon sugar on top and garnish with fresh strawberries.

Notes

  • The filling for this is creamy and not too sweet since the chimis get rolled in cinnamon sugar too.
  • You can swap plain Greek yogurt for sour cream, or even strawberry or vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt.
  • Don’t overfill the tortillas with the cheesecake mixture. You don’t want it to escape through the sides.
