Instructions
Preparing the Crunchy Dessert Shell
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly brush small tortillas with melted butter on both sides.
- Sprinkle with a mix of sugar and cinnamon.
- Drape the tortillas over the spaces of an upside-down muffin tin so they form taco shapes.
- Bake for about 7 to 9 minutes, until crisp. Let them cool completely before filling.
Mixing the Cheesecake Filling
- In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then mix again until creamy.
- Fold in whipped topping or your whipped cream, being careful not to overmix.
- Adjust sweetness with more powdered sugar or add a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.
Layering Strawberries and Toppings
- Spoon or pipe the filling into each shell.
- Add sliced strawberries on top, then drizzle with strawberry glaze.
- Sprinkle the crunchy crumbs over everything.
Chilling and Serving Tips
- Chill the assembled tacos for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Do not chill them too long, or the shells will soften.
Notes
These tacos are best the day they are made. The shells should be cool and dry before filling to maintain crunchiness. You can prep the filling and shells ahead of time for convenience.
