Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, blend together cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Spread a generous amount of the cheesecake filling onto the center of each flour tortilla, then roll tightly and seal the edges.
- Preheat your frying oil in a large skillet to 350°F (175°C) and brush each chimichanga with melted butter.
- Mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish for coating.
- Carefully place each chimichanga into the preheated oil and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove chimichangas from the oil and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while warm.
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or chocolate sauce.

Notes
Store un-fried chimichangas in the fridge for up to 24 hours; freeze un-fried ones for longer storage. Reheat leftovers in the oven to regain crispiness.
