Ingredients
For the Taco Shells:
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the Oreo Cheesecake Filling:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
- 12 Oreo cookies, crushed (reserve some for topping)
Additional:
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Additional crushed Oreo cookies, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Taco Shells:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on both sides.
- Fold the tortillas over a wire rack to create a taco shape and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until crispy. Let them cool completely.
- Prepare the Oreo Cheesecake Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream and crushed Oreo cookies.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Spoon or pipe the Oreo cheesecake filling into each cooled taco shell.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with additional crushed Oreo cookies.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Tortilla Preparation: Ensure the tortillas are coated evenly with the butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture for consistent flavor and crispness. Watch them closely in the oven, as they can go from perfectly crisp to burnt quickly.
- Cheesecake Filling: The cream cheese should be at room temperature for easy mixing. Overmixing can cause the filling to become too loose, so gently fold in the whipped cream and Oreo crumbs until just combined.
