Tips

For a sweeter filling, add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture.

If you don’t have fresh blueberries, you may substitute frozen blueberries. Just defrost them and drain them before adding them to the filling.

You may also use different fruits in the filling, such as strawberries, raspberries, or peaches.

To make ahead, assemble the chimichangas and freeze them. When you’re ready to cook, defrost the chimichangas and air fry them according to the guidelines.
