Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

    In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Xango

    Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling onto each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly, making sure to seal the edges.

  3. 3

    Fry the Xango

    In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the rolled tortillas and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

    Remove the fried Xango from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll each piece in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar until fully coated.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the Xango in half and serve warm. Optionally, drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce.
