Ingredients

1 cup Golden Oreo cookies, crushed

2 tablespoons butter, melted (for the crunch topping)

1 (3 oz) box strawberry-flavored gelatin mix

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream (for the cheesecake filling)

6 small flour tortillas

2 tablespoons butter, melted (for the taco shells)

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar

1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crunch Topping:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a bowl, mix the crushed Golden Oreos, melted butter, and strawberry gelatin until well combined.
    • Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 7–8 minutes.
    • Allow it to cool completely, then break it into small crumble-sized pieces.
  2. Prepare the Taco Shells:
    • Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter.
    • In a shallow bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and cinnamon sugar. Press each tortilla into this mixture, coating both sides.
    • Drape the tortillas over the oven rack bars to form taco shapes. Bake for 6–8 minutes until golden and crisp.
    • Let the taco shells cool completely.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    • Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together 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 well combined and smooth.
  4. Assemble the Tacos:
    • Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each taco shell.
    • Top with freshly chopped strawberries and sprinkle generously with the strawberry crunch topping.
    • Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Variations:

Chocolate Crunch Topping: Swap the strawberry-flavored gelatin for chocolate pudding mix for a delicious chocolate crunch topping.

Different Fillings: You can mix up the cheesecake filling by adding a layer of fruit preserves or chocolate ganache for extra flavor.

Mini Tacos: Make mini versions by using smaller tortillas for bite-sized treats.

Storage: These Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos are best served fresh. However, if you have leftovers, store the tacos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The shells may soften slightly, but they will still taste delicious!
