- Small flour tortillas (taco-sized)
- Melted butter or neutral oil
- Cinnamon sugar (about 1 tablespoon sugar to 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon)
- Cream Cheese (softened to room temperature)
- Powdered Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Heavy Cream (very cold)
- Golden Oreo Cookies
- Strawberry Gelatin Powder
- Unsalted Butter (melted)
- Freeze-Dried Strawberries (optional)
- Fresh, ripe strawberries (sliced or diced)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly brush both sides of your small flour tortillas with melted butter or a neutral oil. Sprinkle generously with a mixture of cinnamon sugar.
- To shape them into tacos, drape each tortilla over two bars of an oven rack or use aluminum foil crumpled into 'taco stands' on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a food processor, pulse the Golden Oreo cookies until they form fine crumbs.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the strawberry gelatin powder and any optional crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Stir well.
- Pour in the melted unsalted butter and mix until the crumbs are moist and clump together slightly. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions until no streaks remain.
- Cover the cheesecake filling and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Once your shells are cooled and crisp, spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each dessert taco shell.
- Arrange your fresh, sliced or diced strawberries over the cheesecake filling in each taco.
- Gently press the strawberry crunch topping onto both sides of the cheesecake filling.
- Carefully transfer the assembled tacos to a serving platter.
- Chill the assembled tacos for another 30 minutes to an hour before serving.
