Description

Crispy graham-cracker-coated taco shells filled with a creamy no-bake strawberry cheesecake filling and topped with fresh strawberries. These Cheesecake Strawberry Tacos are an easy, party-perfect dessert ready in about 22 minutes.

Ingredients 

  • 2 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 4 oz strawberry cream cheese, room temperature
  • tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced and divided
  • ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries
  • ½ cup cinnamon sugar, divided
  • 5 medium-large flour tortillas
  • 1 large egg
  • cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Make the filling. In a food processor, blend the cream cheese, strawberry cream cheese, vanilla, lemon juice, freeze-dried strawberries, ½ cup of the diced strawberries, heavy whipping cream, and 6 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar until fully smooth. Cover and refrigerate while you make the shells.
  • Cut the shells. Place a tortilla on a flat surface and cut three circles with a biscuit cutter or small glass, without overlapping. Repeat with all tortillas to get about 15 circles.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
  • Make a foil taco holder. Fold a piece of foil into 3–4 sections, pinching the ends to form ridges. Place it in the air fryer basket.
  • Set up the coating station. Beat the egg in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
  • Coat each circle. Dip a tortilla circle in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then press into the graham cracker mixture until fully coated.
  • Shape. Fold each coated circle over a foil ridge into a taco shape, without pinching the sides shut.
  • Air fry. Place 4–6 shells in the foil holder without overlapping. Air fry at 350°F for 8–12 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  • Cool. Transfer shells to a cooling rack and let cool completely (they crisp further as they cool). Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Fill and top. Spoon the filling into a piping bag and pipe 1–2 tablespoons into each shell. Top with the remaining diced strawberries and chopped mint, if using. Serve right away.

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Biscuit cutter or small glass
  • Aluminum Foil
  • Piping bag (or zip-top bag)
  • Cooling rack

Notes

  • Best served fresh. The shells are crispiest the day they're made.
  • Make ahead: Store cooled shells in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days; keep the filling covered in the fridge 3–4 days. Assemble just before serving so the shells stay crisp.
  • Freezing isn't recommended — the shells soften and lose their crunch.
  • Don't overlap shells in the basket; they need airflow to crisp evenly.
  • Gluten-free / low-carb: use gluten-free or low-carb tortillas.
