FRIED CHEESECAKE ROLL-UPS

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 25 to 30

Ingredients

  • 3 8 oz cream cheese
  • ⅔ cups sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 stick butter melted
  • 15 to 20 small flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Sauce

  • 1 lb strawberries diced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/8 cup vodka (berry flavored if you have it)
  • 1/8 cup water
  • 1/8 cup strawberry preserves

Instructions

  • 1. For the sauce: In a medium sauce pan, add the strawberries, sugar, vodka, water, and place on low to medium heat and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Using a potato smasher, smash the strawberries while in the sauce pan. Add the strawberry preserves and allow to simmer for another 5-7 minutes or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
  • 2. In a large bowl, cream the cream cheese, add the sugar, and vanilla extract. Take a flour tortilla and add about a spoonful and a half of the cream cheese mixture and spread in the middle of the tortilla. Begin to roll the tortilla away from you; half way through tuck in the sides; and roll to the end of the other side of the tortilla making a roll. Complete the process until all of the cream cheese mixture is gone.
  • 3. In a large sauté pan on medium heat (make sure it isn't too high) heat the vegetable oil. Add a couple of the tortillas to the pan seam side up. Allow to fry for 1 minute on each side. Use a slotted spoon to remove from heat once golden brown on both side. Repeat until all tortillas are cooked.
  • 4. Use a pastry brush and brush each tortilla with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture, and allow to cool before serving. Use the strawberry sauce for dipping.
