Chocolate Chimichangas











Here is one of my favorite desserts. We used to get them at Rio Bravo when David worked there during college, but it is gone so we had to come up with our own version. We think they are just as yummy! In the pictures I made them with soft taco size tortillas. You can also use burrito size, just be sure to use a whole chocolate bar instead of half. I'm hungry just thinking about it!

Here is what you'll need for 1:

  • 1 Flour tortilla
  • 1/2 Hershey's Chocolate Bar
  • cinnamon and sugar mixture
  • Chocolate syrup
  • Vanilla Icecream

Take half of a Hershey's chocolate bar, break it into individual squares. Heat the tortilla in the microwave 5-10 seconds, so that it is warm and you can fold it without breaking. Place squares in the center of the tortilla.





Roll up like you would for a burrito, folding both ends in, then the side and roll.


Complete this for all of them you plan to assemble, and then wrap in plastic wrap or put into a Ziploc bag. Put in the freezer for at least an hour. This helps them to stay together when cooking.






When you are ready to serve, preheat deep fryer (or you could do it in a pan of oil) and fry until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel, then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Drizzle your plate with chocolate syrup and place chimichanga on top of the syrup. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.



Don't you love our Camp Rock plates? Classy, huh?
