Who says that tacos are just a main dish? Make the shells sweet with brown sugar and cinnamon, fill them with a cheesecake filling and strawberry sauce and you have a great, easy dessert!

Ingredients

• Tortilla Shells:
• 6 large flour tortillas
• 1/2 c. light brown sugar
• 1/2 t. ground cinnamon
• vegetable oil, for frying
• Strawberry Sauce:
• 2 c. fresh strawberries

• 1 T. corn starch
• 2 T. water
• Cheesecake Filling:
• 8 o.z cream cheese
• 1/2 c. powdered sugar

Steps

1. Tortilla Shells:
2. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside. Cut the tortillas with a 3 1/2 - 4 inch circle cutter, making 30 tortilla circles.
3. Meanwhile, heat one inch of oil in a skillet. Once the oil is hot, use tongs to put tortilla circles in; fry for 4-5 seconds; turn the other side and fold in half, using tongs to make the shape of a shell. Fry for few more seconds until it gets golden brown; turn the other side and fry until it also gets golden brown, too.
