Air Fryer Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas have a creamy strawberry cheesecake filling wrapped in a crispy flour tortilla and coated in cinnamon sugar. They cook in just 5 minutes in the air fryer for a quick dessert with a warm, creamy center.
I love the combination of fresh strawberries, cream cheese, and cinnamon sugar. They taste like a cross between cheesecake and a crispy churro-style dessert.

How to Make Air Fryer Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas
Make the Filling: Beat the cream cheese, sour cream, ¼ cup sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the diced strawberries.
Fill & Roll: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to keep the filling inside.
Air Fry: Spray the air fryer basket and chimichangas with cooking spray. Air fry at 400°F for 5 minutes, flipping after 3 minutes.
Coat & Serve: Mix the remaining ½ cup sugar with the cinnamon. Roll the hot chimichangas in the cinnamon sugar and serve immediately.
Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Use room-temperature cream cheese: It makes the filling easier to mix until smooth.
- Don’t overfill: About 2 tablespoons of filling makes the tortillas easier to roll and helps prevent leaks.
- Roll tightly: Fold in the sides before rolling to keep the cheesecake filling inside.
- Coat while warm: Roll the chimichangas in cinnamon sugar right after air frying so it sticks.
