Ingredients
For the Taco Shells:
- 18 street taco size flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- vegetable oil for frying
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Whipped Topping thawed – Cool Whip
For the Strawberry Topping:
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
For the Shells:
- Stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
- Heat a few inches of the vegetable oil in a large pan or dutch oven until the oil is approximately 380-400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the tortillas in the oil frying both sides for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. You will have to work in batches and be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- When the tortillas are done, take them out and immediately place them in the sugar and cinnamon bowl and coat both sides with the mixture.
- Flip a cupcake pan upside down, fold the tortillas in half and place them in between the cups of the pan so that they keep their shape while baking.
- Continue this process until all the tortillas are fried.
For the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined with a hand held mixer or stand up mixer.
- Add in the whipped topping and beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the strawberry topping.
For the Strawberry Topping:
- Boil water together with sugar and the strawberries in a small pot. Reduce to a simmer to soften the strawberries.
- Dissolve cornstarch in a small amount of water, then add the slurry into the pot. Stir constantly until you get a slightly chunky mixture.
- Remove from the heat and let it cool completely.
- Spoon the strawberry topping on the cheesecake tacos and serve immediately to enjoy!
To Assemble:
- Transfer the filling mixture to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with one of the corners removed.
- Pipe the mixture into the cooled taco shells. Then spoon the strawberry topping on top.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- These are best served immediately after they are assembled as the shells will get soft over time.
- However, you can refrigerate the leftovers for 1-2 days in an airtight container.
