Long after preparing Caramel Apple Chimichangas and sharing a recipe with you, my family and I have enjoyed their taste, with the same passion. Now, I‘ve decided to make a small change, to use fresh blueberries and make perfect Blueberry Cheesecake Chimichangas.
We all like blueberries, so I often prepare blueberry desserts, like Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Cookies and Strawberry Blueberry Icebox Cake. I like cream cheese and fruit combination – it‘s so refreshing.
My family and our friends and their kids all love these delicious tortilla wraps, filled with cream cheese and homemade blueberry sauce. Even my son, who prefers chocolate desserts, loves them.
Blueberry Cheesecake Chimichangas are special because they are made with homemade blueberry sauce.

They are delicious, but could you give more detailed instructions on how to fold the tortillas? Everything went well until then, but the chimichangas came unfolded in the pan and let the blueberry filling spill out.

Thank you Victoria, they really are delicious. You need to fold the two sides of each tortilla toward the center and roll into chimichanga. And then use toothpick to secure it. There are also step by step pictures in post. Best regards.
