Make sure to avoid lumps for a velvety texture.<\/dd>\n<dt><strong>Add Strawberries:<\/strong><\/dt>\n<dd>Gently fold in the sliced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them.<\/dd>\n<dt><strong>Assemble Chimichangas:<\/strong><\/dt>\n<dd>Divide the filling equally among the tortillas. Spread it in the lower third of each tortilla, fold the sides toward the center, and roll up burrito-style. Secure with toothpicks to prevent them from unrolling during frying.<\/dd>\n<dt><strong>Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating:<\/strong><\/dt>\n<dd>Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl and set aside for later. This will coat your chimichangas post-frying for additional flavor.<\/dd>\n<dt><strong>Heat Oil For Frying:<\/strong><\/dt>\n<dd>In a saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high until it reaches 360\u00b0F. Maintaining this temperature ensures an even, crispy fry.<\/dd>\n<dt><strong>Fry Chimichangas:<\/strong><\/dt>\n<dd>Place each chimichanga into the oil gently. Fry in batches, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.<\/dd>\n<dt><strong>Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:<\/strong><\/dt>\n<dd>While still warm, roll each fried chimichanga in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely coated.<\/dd>\n<dt><strong>Serve:<\/strong><\/dt>\n<dd>Carefully remove the toothpicks.
