Ingredients
  

Taco Shells
  • 6 flour tortillas large
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp strawberry preserves
Strawberry Mixture
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries diced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
Crunch Topping
  • 1 cup vanilla wafers crushed
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
Garnish
  • whipped cream

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven-safe bowls or taco molds
  • Piping bag

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush tortillas with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
  2. Drape tortillas over oven-safe bowls to create taco shell shapes. Bake 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy. Cool completely.
  3. Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  4. Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks in separate bowl. Gently fold into cream cheese mixture along with strawberry preserves.
  5. Combine diced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let macerate for 15 minutes.
  6. Mix crushed vanilla wafers with melted butter and sugar to create crunch topping.
  7. Fill each taco shell with cheesecake mixture using piping bag or spoon.
  8. Top with macerated strawberries and crunch topping.
  9. Garnish with whipped cream, fresh strawberry slices, and mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Taco shells can be made ahead and stored in airtight container for up to 2 days. Assemble just before serving to maintain crispiness. Can substitute graham crackers for vanilla wafers in crunch topping.
