| Strawberry Cream Chimichangas |
Delightful and easy dessert! These sweet and creamy berry flavored chimichangas are sure to please.
Here’s a taste of summer wrapped up in a flour tortilla!
If I had to describe it to anyone, I’d call it a Mexican blintz. Basically that’s what it is but instead of sauteeing a crepe in butter, this is rolled in a flour tortilla and deep fried.

They are quick to make too. No long prep or cook time. It took me all of 5 minutes to prep and 5 minutes to fry. Remember, you’re really only crisping the tortilla; everything else requires no cooking!
These are perfect to serve at an early summer BBQ. They really taste great straight out of the fryer, but they are even good chilled so don’t be afraid to make them ahead of time.
