Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
- 12 Golden Oreos
Structural Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
Seasoning and Sweetening Ingredients:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping or homemade whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush 8 small flour tortillas with 2 tablespoons melted butter on both sides. Sprinkle each tortilla with a mixture of ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Drape the tortillas over two bars of an oven rack to create taco shapes. Bake for 6-8 minutes until they turn golden and crisp. Remove and let them cool completely.
- Crush 12 Golden Oreos and 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin until they become fine crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons melted butter and mix until the mixture looks like a coarse crumble.
- In a mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese until smooth. Add ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture becomes creamy with no lumps.
- Gently fold 1 cup whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, airy filling.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup diced fresh strawberries with 2 tablespoons strawberry jam. Stir until the strawberries get a glossy coating.
- Fill each cooled taco shell with the cheesecake mixture using a spoon or piping bag. Make sure to distribute the filling evenly.
- Top each filled taco with a spoonful of strawberry mixture. Sprinkle the Oreo-strawberry crumble generously over the top.
- Refrigerate the assembled tacos for 20 minutes to help them firm up. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Freeze the taco shells briefly after dipping in white chocolate to help the crunch coating adhere perfectly.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour tortillas with corn tortillas or almond flour wraps.
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure smooth, lump-free filling.
- When coating the taco shells, work quickly and tap off excess white chocolate to prevent dripping and create an even layer.
