For the Filling:

  • 24 oz. cream cheese softened
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

For Frying:

  • 3½ cups vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 stick butter melted
  • 15 –20 small flour tortillas

  • ⅛ cup berry-flavored vodka optional
  • ½ tbsp lemon juice
  • ⅛ cup water
  • ⅛ cup strawberry preserves

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, combine diced strawberries, sugar, vodka, water, and lemon juice. Simmer for 10 minutes, mashing gently. Stir in strawberry preserves and cook 5–7 minutes more until thick. Set aside.
  • Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla; mix until creamy.
  • Spread 1.5 tbsp filling on each tortilla. Roll tightly, folding in the sides halfway through. Repeat with all tortillas.
