Equipment
- 1 oven preheated to 350°F
- 1 baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- 1 mixing bowl large
- 1 electric mixer
Ingredients
Taco Shells
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries diced
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
- Brush each tortilla with melted butter, then coat with graham cracker crumbs. Arrange the tortillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the tortillas in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Place the prepared cheesecake filling in the refrigerator for about 60 minutes to firm up slightly.
Serving
- Spoon the chilled cheesecake filling into each taco shell, and top with additional sliced strawberries. Serve immediately to maintain the crispiness of the shells.
Storage
- If there are any leftovers, store the unfilled taco shells and cheesecake filling separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Fill the shells just before serving to keep them crispy.
