Ingredients
6 small flour tortillas
2 tablespoons melted butter
0.25 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 oz cream cheese, softened
0.5 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
10 Golden Oreos
0.25 cup freeze-dried strawberries or 1 tablespoon strawberry gelatin powder
2 tablespoons melted butter
Fresh strawberries, sliced
Whipped cream or extra crushed topping for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter. Mix sugar and cinnamon, then coat the tortillas in the mixture. Drape tortillas over an upside-down muffin tin to form taco shapes and bake for 8–10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool completely.
2. Crush Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries (or gelatin powder) in a food processor or zip-top bag. Mix with melted butter to form the strawberry crunch topping. Set aside.
3. In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then mix until creamy. Separately whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture. Chill for 20 minutes.
4. Once shells are cool and filling is chilled, pipe or spoon the cheesecake mixture into each taco shell.
5. Top generously with the strawberry crunch topping, fresh strawberry slices, and optional whipped cream.
6. Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or chill briefly before serving.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for a silky-smooth filling texture.
Don’t skip chilling the cheesecake mixture — it helps firm it up for piping.
Assemble the tacos right before serving to maintain the crispness of the shells.
