Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry syrup or strawberry jam (for drizzling)
- Optional: chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, or mint for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the tortilla chips: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the flour tortillas into triangle-shaped pieces (like nachos).
- Cinnamon-sugar coating: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Place the tortilla triangles on a baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the tortilla pieces.
- Bake the chips: Bake the tortilla pieces in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Once done, remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the cheesecake topping: While the chips are cooling, beat the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- Assemble the nachos: Arrange the cinnamon-sugar tortilla chips in a single layer on a serving platter or large plate. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the chips, spreading it evenly.
- Top with strawberries: Add the sliced fresh strawberries on top of the cheesecake mixture.
- Drizzle and garnish: Drizzle the strawberry syrup (or strawberry jam) over the nachos for a sweet finish. Optionally, add a drizzle of chocolate sauce, whipped cream, or a few fresh mint leaves for extra flair.
- Serve: Serve immediately while the chips are still warm and crispy, and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add other fresh fruits such as blueberries or raspberries on top of the nachos.
- You can also use pre-made cinnamon-sugar chips if you’re looking for a shortcut.
- Leftover cheesecake dip can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days, but it’s best enjoyed fresh.
- If you want a healthier twist, use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cream cheese.
