Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 small flour tortillas (for taco shells)
- 1/4 cup melted butter (for taco shells)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for taco shells)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for taco shells)
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened (for cheesecake filling)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for cheesecake filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake filling)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (for cheesecake filling)
- 1 cup strawberry pie filling or fresh strawberries in glaze (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Brush tortillas lightly with melted butter on both sides. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Dip each tortilla into the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
- Drape tortillas over the bars of an oven-safe rack or lay over a rolled-up strip of foil to form taco shapes. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until crisp. Cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into cream cheese mixture until fluffy.
- Pipe or spoon the cheesecake filling into cooled taco shells.
- Top each taco with strawberry pie filling. Chill before serving if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, drizzle the tacos with chocolate or caramel sauce before serving.
- If you don’t have an oven-safe rack, you can also place the tortillas on a baking sheet and fold them in half using crumpled foil to create the taco shape.
- These tacos can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- For a twist, try adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts or shredded coconut as additional toppings.
