How to Make Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos

Ingredients:

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream
1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
6 small flour tortillas
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup cinnamon sugar
1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, toss the diced strawberries with granulated sugar until coated. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush both sides of the flour tortillas with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Drape each tortilla over the oven rack to form a taco shape and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Once the taco shells are cooled, fill each shell with the prepared cheesecake filling. Top with the sugared strawberries and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers and toasted sliced almonds.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
