Cheesecake Tacos are my new favorite dessert! Made with a cinnamon and sugar shel, filled with homemade cheesecake and topped with cherries.

Ingredients
Taco Ingredients
- 5 - 8 inch tortillas 20 count
- 1 Cup Cinnamon sugar graham cracker crushed
- 1/2 Cup butter melted
Cheesecake Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese - softened
- 1/2 Cup heavy cream
- 1 Teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 Cups powdered sugar
- 1 - 21 ounce can cherry pie filling
Instructions
Taco "Shell" Directions
- Place the can of Cherry pie filling in the refrigerator to chill.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt butter in the microwave and set aside.
- Using a large cookie cutter, cut out circles from the tortillas (about 2 rounds each tortilla).
- Dip the tortilla cut outs into the melted butter and then into the cinnamon sugar graham cracker crumbs.
- Turn a muffin pan upside down and place the graham cracker coated tortillas between the muffin cups.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes, and let cool on the bottom of the muffin tin. (Leaving them to sit helps them keep their shape.)
Cheesecake Directions
- In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, mix the cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Add the heavy cream, lemon zest, vanilla and mix well, to make sure all ingredients are well blended.
- Add the powdered sugar a little at a time, mixing between each addition.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again for 2 minutes on medium speed until completely blended smooth and thickened.
- Place the cheesecake mixture in the refrigerator for 1 hour to chill.
- Remove all the taco shells from the back of the muffin tin, and place on a wire rack to cool.
- After the shells are cool, and the cheesecake is chilled, transfer the cheesecake to a piping bag, and pipe the cheesecake into the taco shells, filling them about 3/4 of the way in the shell.
- Top with a teaspoon of Cherry Pie Filling and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs. Enjoy!

Notes
- Makes approximately 20 Taco's but might make more/less depending on the size of your cookie cutter, and if you purchase the size of tortillas you use.
