Ingredients
  

Taco Shells
  • 6 pieces small flour tortillas
  • ½ cup granulated sugar For cinnamon sugar mixture
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Strawberry Topping
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush each tortilla with melted butter, then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mix.
  3. Shape the tortillas into taco shells using a baking dish or muffin tin. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until they are crispy.
  4. In a bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold this into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
  6. In a saucepan, mix the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until the strawberries start to break down. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir until it thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
Assembly
  1. Once the taco shells are cool, fill them with the cheesecake mixture, then top with the strawberry mixture.

Notes

Enhance flavor with citrus zest in the cheesecake filling, customize with different fruits, and serve with chocolate sauce for added richness. Keep leftover tacos in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and freeze cheesecake filling separately for up to 2 months.
