– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

**For the Topping:**

**Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:**
– In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth and creamy.
– Stir in the sour cream until well combined.
– Gently fold in the caramel sauce to create swirls in the cheesecake mixture.

2. **Assemble the Chimichangas:**
– Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface.
– Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it down the center of each one.
– Fold the sides of each tortilla in, then roll it up tightly like a burrito, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed.

3. **Prepare for Air Frying:**
– Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
– Brush the outside of each chimichanga with melted butter.
– In a shallow bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
– Roll each buttered chimichanga in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.

4. **Air Fry the Chimichangas:**
– Place the chimichangas seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.
– Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chimichangas are golden brown and crispy.

5. **Serve:**
– Remove the chimichangas from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
– Drizzle with additional caramel sauce and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
