Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals until melted, stirring in between. Once melted, add the chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined.

Fill the Tortillas
Take a chocolate tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese and chocolate filling in the center. Fold the sides over the filling and then roll it up tightly to form a chimichanga. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Chimichangas
Carefully place the chimichangas in the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
