  5. Heat oil over medium heat. Using tongs, place one assembled chimichanga in hot oil, turning frequently with tongs to fry evenly until golden; about 3 minutes. Transfer to cinnamon/sugar bowl and coat evenly, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining assembled chimichangas. Enjoy immediately.
