Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • ½ cup cinnamon sugar for coating

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  • Spread about 2 tablespoons of filling onto each tortilla.
  • Fold the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly like a burrito.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Fry the rolled tortillas seam-side down for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
  • Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  • Roll the warm Xango desserts in cinnamon sugar.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can prepare the cheesecake filling and roll the tortillas ahead of time, then fry just before serving.
  • Serve with a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
  • Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a more decadent dessert.
