Method
Filling Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, egg, and sour cream. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Chimis Assembly
- 2
Assemble the Chimis
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling onto the center of the tortilla. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Frying
- 3
Fry the Chimis
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Carefully add the rolled chimi to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry each chimi for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Finishing Touches

Add the Finishing Touches
In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and cinnamon. While the chimis are still warm, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over them. Serve immediately, and enjoy your cheesecake chimis!
