Instructions
- Prepare the Taco Shells:
- In a bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
- Using tongs, fold the tortillas in half and carefully fry each tortilla until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.

- Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Prepare the Strawberry Topping:
- In a small bowl, combine the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to release the juices.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Fill each cinnamon-sugar-coated taco shell with the cheesecake filling using a piping bag or spoon.
- Top with the prepared strawberry topping.
- Serve:
- Garnish with whipped cream and extra strawberries if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Strawberry Cheesecake Tacos!
