Strawberry Cheesecake "Burritos"

I found this recipe on cookpad.com and it was originally submitted by Ashley Shinoda Sullivan. You know I can't make a recipe the way it's written and I wanted to only use what I had on hand. Here's my version: 


1/2 of an 8 oz Cream Cheese; room temperature
1 tbsp Sour Cream
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 cup strawberry jam
4 packages (8-inch) Soft Torrillas


In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, jam, vanilla extract. 

Divide the mixture evenly between the 4 tortillas. Slather the filling in the lower third of the tortilla. Fold the two sides toward the center and then roll the tortilla up like a burrito. To keep the end closed, wet the edges with a wet paste of flour and water. (Isn't that a great tip? I read it here.) Let sit, edges down, until ready to deep fry.

Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

In a deep saucepan, place about 2 to 2½-inch vegetable oil for frying & heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 360ºF.

Fry the burritos until golden brown & crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip them as needed. Work in batches.

Transfer the burritos to the paper-lined towel on a plate to drain. Sprinkle liberally with powdered sugar.

Let cool for a few minutes.
