- Granulated sugar
- Ground cinnamon

How to Make Velvet Curtains Cheesecake Tacos (Baked, No-Fry)
Preheat the oven to 400°F and use a metal muffin tin upside down to hold the taco shapes.
Use a 3 ¾-inch round cookie cutter to punch smaller circles from the street-size flour tortillas for uniform shells.
Prick each tortilla circle all over with a fork so steam escapes and the shells don’t balloon.
Dip the tortillas in melted butter, then coat in a cinnamon and sugar mix until fully coated.
Fold each circle gently into a taco shape and nestle it between the inverted muffin cups.
Bake 10–12 minutes, until crisp and golden. Let shells cool on the tin so they set in a perfect curve.
In a bowl, whisk together strawberry pie filling and finely diced fresh strawberries.
When you’re ready to serve, pipe the ready made cheesecake filling into the bottom of each taco.
Then, spoon on the strawberry topping.
Serve immediately for max crunch.
Tips & Suggestions
- Street-size tortillas + 3 ¾-inch cutter make petite, party-ready shells with great structure.
- You can add graham cracker crumbs to the cinnamon-sugar mixture to help it all cling and add a churro crunch.
- Stage an assembly bar–keep shells and fillings separate until the moment you serve to preserve the snap.
- Swap the fruit vibe with cherry pie filling + almond extract, or blueberry pie filling + a crack of black pepper.
FAQ
Why are my shells losing shape?
They likely cooled off the pan. Let them cool on the inverted muffin tin so they “set” into that taco curve.
Can I make the shells ahead?
Yes, a little bit. Bake the day before or earlier the same day, cool completely, and store in a sealed container. Fill just before serving.
