Ingredients
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp sugar optional, for coating
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon optional
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or 1 cup whipped topping
- 10 Golden Oreos
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven or air fryer to 375°F.
- Brush small tortillas with melted butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if desired.
- Drape over oven racks or taco molds to form taco shape. Bake or air fry for 10–12 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool completely.
- For the crunch topping, pulse Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until crumbly. Mix with melted butter and set aside.
- For the filling, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add heavy cream and beat until fluffy, or fold in whipped topping.
- Spoon or pipe cheesecake filling into each taco shell.
- Top with strawberry crunch mixture and fresh strawberries, if using.
- Chill tacos in the fridge for 20–30 minutes before serving for best texture.
Notes
- Use premade taco shells for an easy shortcut.
- For a citrus twist, add lemon zest to the filling.
- You can make the components ahead and assemble just before serving.
- Substitute strawberry gelatin powder for freeze-dried strawberries in a pinch.
- Keep shells crisp by storing them separately from the filling.
