Fried Chocolate Chimichangas Recipe

How to make it

---

• Fill a medium saucepan or deep-fryer 1/3 full of
• vegetable oil and heat to 365°F.
• Warm tortillas in a tortilla warmer, or wrap in foil
• and bake at 350°F for 3 to 4 minutes (this will make
• them easier to roll without cracking). Place tortillas
• on a cutting board or flat surface and spoon 1/4 cup
• of the chocolate morsels into the middle of the
• tortilla.
• Fold 1/3 of the sides of the tortilla into the center.
• Bring the bottom edge of the tortilla over the
• filling, roll to enclose the filling, and secure with
• toothpicks.
• Carefully lower one into the oil and deep-fry for 2
• minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
• Repeat with remaining tortillas and chocolate. To
• serve, cut the chimichangas in half diagonally, and
• arrange on a plate. Dust with powdered sugar to serve.
• Notes: You can use a chocolate candy bar, broken into
• pieces for the filling, if desired.
