Strawberry Cheesecake Tacos combine crispy graham cracker-coated mini tortilla shells with creamy no-bake cheesecake filling and luscious strawberry glaze topping. Bite-sized dessert tacos perfect for parties blending crunchy texture, rich cheesecake, and fresh fruit flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Tortilla Shells:
  • 5 eight-inch flour tortillas (makes ~20 three-inch rounds)
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • No-Bake Cheesecake Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Strawberry Glaze:
  • 1½ cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (slurry)

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven 400°F. Cut 3-inch rounds from tortillas using cookie cutter or glass. Mix graham cracker crumbs with sugar. Brush tortilla rounds with melted butter, coat both sides in crumb mixture. Poke several holes in each with fork.
  • 2. Place upside-down muffin tin on baking sheet. Wedge coated tortilla rounds between inverted muffin cups to form taco shape. Bake 10-11 minutes until golden and crisp. Cool completely in pan.
  • 3. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla. Whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks, fold into cream cheese mixture. Chill 30 minutes until pipeable.
  • 4. Cook chopped strawberries, sugar, and water over medium heat until softened (5 minutes). Add cornstarch slurry; cook until thickened. Cool completely.
  • 5. Pipe cheesecake filling into cooled shells. Spoon strawberry glaze over filling. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Room temperature cream cheese prevents lumps in filling; cold heavy cream whips best.
  • Poke tortillas thoroughly to prevent air bubbles during baking.
  • Keep shells airtight at room temperature up to 2 days; store filling refrigerated.
  • Assemble just before serving to maintain crunch.
  • Substitute store-bought strawberry glaze if short on time.
  • Makes 20 mini tacos – perfect party dessert finger food.
