 Ingredients

For the Taco Shells:

• 6 large flour tortillas
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

For the Strawberry Crunch Coating:

• 15 Golden Oreos, crushed
• 3 tbsp freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold

For Assembly:

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
• Extra strawberry crunch for garnish
• Whipped cream (optional)

 Instructions

1. Prepare the Taco Shells

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cut the flour tortillas into 3-inch circles using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass. You should get 3–4 circles per tortilla.
3. Brush both sides of each circle with the melted butter. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle over the tortillas.
4. Drape the tortilla circles over the bars of an oven rack (to form taco shapes). Place a baking sheet underneath to catch any drips.
5. Bake for 5–7 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Let them cool completely before removing.

2. Make the Strawberry Crunch

1. Crush the Golden Oreos into fine crumbs (a food processor works best).
2. Add the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and melted butter. Mix until combined.
3. Spread the mixture onto a plate. Dip the edges of each cooled taco shell into melted white chocolate, then immediately coat with the strawberry crunch. Set aside to harden.

3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag.

4. Assemble the Cheesecake Tacos

1. Pipe the cheesecake filling into each taco shell.
2. Top with diced fresh strawberries.
3. Sprinkle extra strawberry crunch over the filling.
4. Optional: Add whipped cream for extra indulgence.

 Tips for Success

• Crispier Shells: Bake the tortilla circles a little longer if you want extra crunch, but watch closely to prevent burning.
• Make Ahead: You can prepare the shells and cheesecake filling a day in advance. Assemble right before serving.
• Flavor Twist: Try swapping strawberries with blueberries, raspberries, or even a tropical twist like mango.

 Serving Ideas

• Perfect for birthday parties, Valentine’s Day, or summer BBQs.
• Serve alongside vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat.
• Arrange them on a colorful platter for a stunning dessert table centerpiece.
