Preparation

Step 1

* Mix sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a small bowl and set aside.

* Pour oil in a deep sided fry pan and heat over med/high heat. (It takes about 8-10 minutes for it to be ready.)

* While oil is heating, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a small mixing bowl. Mix by hand or with an electric mixer until creamy and all lumps are gone.

* Stir in 1 tsp of cinnamon. (This is an optional ingredient, but adds a really nice touch. Especially if you use the apple topping.)

* Warm up tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds, just to make them softer.

* Spoon about 1/4 cup of cheesecake mix on to the middle of the tortilla.

* Fold and tuck to form a burrito, making sure filling stays inside.

* Secure with 1-2 toothpicks along the seam.

* Using tongs, place burritos (one at a time) into the oil, and lightly fry.

* Remove from oil and let cool on paper towel.

* Remove toothpicks, lightly sprinkle with mix of cinnamon and sugar, and top with strawberries. (The strawberries will have had enough time to macerate and make a really nice sauce.)

** SO GOOD! You can get REALLY decadent and add some chopped nuts and a drizzle of chocolate, maybe even some whipped cream! Oh the possibilities!!!
