Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- 6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
- 1 3/4 cups sliced strawberries divided
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
Make the Filling
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment,
- Beat the cream cheese with the sour cream, 1 tablespoon sugar, vanilla extract and lemon zest, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Fold in 3/4 cup of the sliced strawberries.
- The tortillas will bend easier if you warm them a little bit in the microwave.
- Leave them in the package and put them in for 30-45 seconds.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the tortillas, slathering each portion in the lower third of each tortilla.
- Fold the two sides of each tortilla toward the center and then roll the tortilla up like a burrito and secure it with a toothpick. Repeat the rolling process with the remaining tortillas.
Cup of Yum
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
- Combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Set it aside.
Cook and Serve
- Set your air fryer to 400 degrees.
- Place the chimichangas in the basket. Spray the chimichanga with some cooking spray.
- Set the timer for 6 minutes and cook. Remove the chimichangas from the basket.
- Roll them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
- Remove all toothpicks from the chimichangas.
- Transfer them to serving plates. Top each sliced strawberries and serve immediately.
Notes
- Storing Leftovers - I recommend eating these immediately. However, if you do have any leftovers, place them in the fridge for storage. Reheat in the air fryer.
