Soak toothpicks in water.

Mix cinnamon with caster sugar until well combined to make cinnamon sugar.

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, lemon rind, vanilla, lemon juice, and sour cream; mix until creamy.

Add chopped strawberries to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.

Spoon the mixture onto slightly warmed tortillas.

Optionally, add chocolate chips on top of the mixture.

Fold the tortillas like a parcel by folding in the sides and rolling them up, then fold over the top.

Secure the rolled tortillas with a soaked toothpick.

Test the oil to ensure it's hot enough before frying.

Fry the chimichangas for about 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown, using a fork to hold them down if they won't flip due to weight distribution.

Remove the chimichangas and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Roll the chimichangas in the cinnamon sugar until all sides are covered.
