Why You’ll Love This Recipe:

Who says tacos are just for savory meals? These sweet treats bring together the best of two worlds—cheesecake and tacos—into bite-sized packages that are as delightful to eat as they are to look at. With their golden crunch, tangy strawberries, and luscious cheesecake filling, these tacos are sure to become a crowd favorite.

Ingredients:

For the Graham Cracker Coating:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup melted butter
¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream

For Assembly:

1 cup diced strawberries
6 small flour tortillas
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil works well)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Graham Cracker Coating

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until fully combined and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing 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 no streaks remain.

Step 3: Assemble the Tacos

Spoon a generous amount of the cheesecake filling onto the center of each tortilla.
Top the filling with diced strawberries for added sweetness and freshness.
Fold the tortilla into a taco shape, securing it with toothpicks if necessary to hold its form.

Step 4: Fry the Tacos

Heat about ½ inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the assembled tacos in the skillet.
Fry the tacos for 2–3 minutes per side , or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the skillet and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 5: Coat in Graham Cracker Mixture

Roll each fried taco in the prepared graham cracker mixture to coat evenly. Press gently to ensure the crumbs stick.

Step 6: Serve Warm

Serve the tacos warm, optionally garnished with extra cheesecake filling or fresh strawberries on the side.
Pair with a drizzle of caramel sauce, chocolate syrup, or whipped cream for an extra touch of decadence.

Tips for Success:

Use Small Tortillas: Mini flour tortillas work best for this recipe, ensuring the tacos are easy to handle and bite-sized.
Don’t Overfill the Tacos: Be mindful of how much filling you add to avoid messy spills during frying.
Fry Carefully: Keep the heat moderate to prevent burning the outside while undercooking the inside. Work in batches if needed.
Customize Your Toppings: Add sprinkles, crushed cookies, or even a hint of cinnamon to the graham cracker mixture for extra flavor.
