Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil-for frying
  • 6 medium flour tortillas taco size, about 8"
  • 2-3 banana
  • 6 tablespoons of Nutella
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • For coating:
  • 1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions

  • Warm the tortillas in the microwave or oven.
  • Mix cinnamon and cayenne in a bowl, Slice the bananas and put into the cinnamon mixture. Shake until the bananas are evenly coated.
  • Lay out tortillas, slather one tablespoon of Nutella in the lower third of each tortilla and add the spiced banana mixture in a small clump on top of the Nutella.
  • Next, fold the two sides of each tortilla toward the center and then roll the tortilla up like a burrito and secure it with a toothpick.
  • Repeat the rolling process with the remaining tortillas.
  • Combine the 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon in a shallow bowl and set it aside.
  • In a 9" cast iron skillet, heat the Vegetable oil-for frying until it reaches 360ºF on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • Working in batches, fry the chimichangas until golden brown and crispy, about 1 minute on each side.
  • Transfer the chimichangas to the paper towel-lined plate to drain for 1 minute, and then roll them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
  • Repeat the frying and rolling process with the remaining chimichangas, returning the oil to 360ºF between batches.
