Ingredients
  

  • 5 8 inch Tortillas (about 20 rounds)
  • 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Butter (melted)
  • 1 cup Strawberries (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 2 tsp Water
  • 1 tbsp Corn starch
  • 1 tbsp Cold water
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 cup Cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 tsp Lemon zest
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/4 cup Powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400F. Cut 4-5 rounds out of each tortilla shell with a cookie cutter to get about 20 shells. Dip each into melted butter then coat in graham cracker crumbs.
  2. Flip a muffin tin upside down. Place the tortilla pieces in between muffin cups. Bake for 10 minutes until just golden brown. Let cool in pan.
  3. Make the strawberry filling: In a small pot, pour water, add sugar, and strawberries. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer to soften the strawberries.
  4. Dissolve cornstarch in cold water and pour into the strawberry mix; bring to a boil, stirring constantly (the mixture will be slightly chunky). Remove to cool completely.
  5. Beat cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla for 2 minutes, using medium speed, until it thickens. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag.
  6. Fill the taco shells with cream cheese filling and top with 1/2 tsp of strawberry filling. Sprinkle with additional graham cracker crumbs, optional! Enjoy!
