Ingredients
For the taco shells:
6 small flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the cheesecake filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
For the strawberry crunch topping:
15 Golden Oreo cookies, crushed
3 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
2 tablespoons melted butter
For garnish:
1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush tortillas with melted butter, then coat in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Drape tortillas over oven rack bars to form taco shell shapes. Bake 8–10 minutes, until crisp and golden. Let cool.
In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream to make a light cheesecake filling.
For topping: Mix crushed Oreos, freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter until crumbly.
Fill cooled taco shells with cheesecake filling. Sprinkle with strawberry crunch topping.
Garnish with diced strawberries and whipped cream. Serve immediately.
Notes
Can prep shells and filling ahead; assemble just before serving.
Swap strawberries for blueberries or raspberries for variety.
Use store-bought mini taco shells for quicker prep.
