Taco Shell Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush flour tortillas with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Drape tortillas over oven rack to form taco shapes. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool completely.
Cheesecake Filling Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
Strawberry Sauce Preparation
- In a medium saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until strawberries are tender. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, stir into sauce, and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Let cool completely.
Taco Assembly
- Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each crispy taco shell with cheesecake filling. Top with cooled strawberry sauce, allowing some to drizzle down the sides. Serve immediately.

Notes
Ensure taco shells are completely cool before filling to maintain crispness. Adjust sweetness of strawberry sauce to taste, and consider garnishing with mint or mini chocolate chips for added flair.
