    These Nutella Banana Cheesecake Chimichangas are the best breakfast for lazy weekends. Soft flour tortillas are filled with banana cheesecake, a dollop of Nutella, almond flakes for a little crunch, and cooked until crisp and golden.

    Nutella Banana Cheesecake Chimichangas

    It was not recently ago when I discovered chimichangas. There was a moment, where I experimented with different chimichanga flavors and methods of cooking. But cheesecake chimichangas? That's a whole other level!

    I was basically eating them almost every dinner for the entire week. I’m hitting the gym soon, by the way. 😛

    These cheesecake chimichangas are basically very similar to nutella banana crepes but with more crunchy outside!

    For savory fillings, I like to bake them until golden brown but for sweet flavors slightly cooked on a skillet and not fried. I never deep fry them as it’s way too unhealthy!

    I’m definitely planning to try the Air Fryer method in the future, but if you have done it let me know down below in the comments if this method is any good?

    So to take the chimichangas next level, I made them as a dessert too. And what can be better than a combination of Nutella, cheesecake, and banana wrapped up in a warm tortilla and then cooked on a pan for a few minutes until crispy and golden brown?

    3 WORDS - Nutella Banana Cheesecake! The taste is mindblowing!

    If these cheesecake chimichangas don't sound amazing to you, then I don’t know what will. Just kidding, it tastes crazy good.

    • Transfer to freezer for about an hour.
    • After an hour you can start warming up the flour tortillas. Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place in a 350 F preheated oven, for 5-10 minutes. 
    • Next, remove the cheesecake mixture from the freezer. On a clean work surface, lay out one tortilla at a time and spread about 1 ½ tablespoons of Nutella in the middle as your first layer. Then, distribute the cheesecake mixture evenly on top of Nutella.

    • Once done, fold two sides in and then fold the bottom piece over and then the top. You can also secure the chimichanga closed by using a toothpick if you need to.

    • In a large skillet over medium heat, warm up a bit of vegetable oil. Once it’s ready, add two rolled up chimichangas, seam-side down. Cook until they become golden brown and slightly crispy on both sides. (about 5 minutes)
    • When ready, transfer chimi’s to a paper towel-lined plate to remove the excess oil. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, your choice of toppings, and serve warm. Enjoy!
