Ingredients
Method
Preheat the Oven
- Begin by setting your oven to 400°F.
Prepare the Taco Shells
- Use a cookie cutter to cut 4-5 rounds out of each tortilla to yield about 20 taco shells.
- Dip each round in the melted butter, then coat them in graham cracker crumbs.
Shape and Bake
- Flip a muffin tin upside down. Place the tortilla pieces between the muffin cups, ensuring they form a taco shape.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown. Allow them to cool in the pan.
Make the Strawberry Filling
- In a small pot over medium heat, combine water, sugar, and strawberries. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer to soften the strawberries.
- Mix the cornstarch and cold water in a separate bowl, then pour it into the strawberry mix.
- Stir constantly until the mixture boils again and thickens slightly—aim for a chunky texture. Allow it to cool completely.
Whip the Cheesecake Filling
- In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla on medium speed until the mixture thickens, about two minutes.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Assembly
- Transfer the chilled cheesecake filling into a piping bag.
- Fill each taco shell with the creamy filling, then top with 1/2 teaspoon of the strawberry mixture.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle additional graham cracker crumbs on top.
