Assemble the Chimichangas
- Lay out tortillas. Add about ½ cup of filling to the center in a log shape.Keep the filling slightly away from the edges to prevent leakage during frying.
- Fold in the sides and roll up tightly like a burrito.A tight roll ensures the chimichangas stay sealed once heated.
- Brush the edge with egg wash to seal.This step helps secure the seam for both frying and air-frying.
Fry or Air-Fry
- To fry:
Heat 1ā2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C). Place seam-side down and fry 1ā2 minutes per side until golden.Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. - To air-fry:
Spray with oil and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8ā10 minutes, flipping halfway.Air-frying produces a crisp, lighter version with less oil.
Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
- Mix cinnamon and sugar.A 1:½ ratio gives excellent coverage without being overly sweet.
- Roll warm chimichangas in the mixture until fully coated.The warmth helps the sugar adhere evenly.
Garnish & Serve
- Top with strawberry sauce, whipped cream, and extra strawberries.
- Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate if desired.
- Serve warm and crispy ā dessert heaven in every bite! ššThe contrast between warm shell and cool cream filling is irresistible.
Perfect for parties, special treats, or when youāre craving something indulgent and fruity!
