For the Taco Shells

Method
 

Prepare the Strawberry Crunch Coating
  1. Crush the cookies in a zip bag with a rolling pin.
  2. Stir in the freeze dried strawberries or strawberry gelatin powder and melted butter until it is crumbly.
  3. Adjust the amount of butter or cookie crumbs until the mixture holds together but is not greasy.
Prepare the Taco Shells
  1. Brush the small flour tortillas with melted butter and sprinkle a little sugar on them.
  2. Bake them draped over the oven rack bars or tuck them between muffin tin cups until crisp.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
  1. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. Fold in the whipped topping or whipped cream gently. Add strawberry jam if desired.
Assemble the Tacos
  1. Spoon the filling into a piping bag and pipe into the taco shells.
  2. Before serving, dip or sprinkle the tacos with the strawberry crunch coating.

Notes

Chill the filling for 15-20 minutes before piping for better texture. Assemble the tacos just before serving to maintain the crunch.
