Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 24.5 oz Philadelphia ready-to-eat cheesecake filling
  • Vanilla extract Optional, a few drops to boost flavor
Shell
  • 9 Large flour tortillas (10-inch, burrito-sized)
  • Toothpicks For securing rolls if needed
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
  • 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
  • 0.125 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp Baking cocoa Adds a hint of richness
Garnish
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Chocolate syrup or hot fudge
  • Whipped cream
  • Sprinkles Optional

Method
 

  1. Classic Fried Method:
  2. Spoon 1/2 cup of cheesecake filling onto the lower third of each tortilla, keeping the edges clean.
  3. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 45 to 60 minutes.
  4. Mix sugar, cinnamon, and cocoa in a bowl. Set aside.
  5. Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a nonstick skillet until a tortilla piece sizzles when dropped in.
  6. Fry the tortillas, turning until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  7. Drain on paper towels, then roll in cinnamon sugar while still hot. Garnish and serve warm.
  8. Air Fryer Method:
  9. Prepare and freeze as above. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  10. Lightly spray the basket and tops of Xangos with oil. Air fry in a single layer for 7–9 minutes, flipping halfway.
  11. Roll in cinnamon sugar while hot. Add toppings and serve.
  12. Oven-Baked Method:
  13. Prepare and freeze as above. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
  14. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with butter or oil. Bake for 15–20 minutes, turning once.
  15. Roll in cinnamon sugar while hot. Garnish and serve.

Microwave tortillas before filling to make rolling easier. Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks. Always freeze before cooking for best texture and seal. Try different flavored sugars or fruit fillings for variety. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months. Reheat in air fryer or oven for best crispiness.
