Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush both sides of the tortillas with melted butter. Drape them over two bars of a wire rack placed over a baking sheet to form a taco shape. Bake for 7–8 minutes, or until crisp. Let cool.
2. In a food processor, pulse cookies and freeze-dried strawberries to coarse crumbs. Stir in 2 tablespoons melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
4. Fill each cooled taco shell with the cheesecake filling (a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped works best).
5. Spoon on a layer of strawberry sauce or jam. Generously sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping over the filling.
6. Garnish with optional sliced fresh strawberries, a drizzle of melted white chocolate, or a sprinkle of lemon zest if desired. Serve immediately for best crunch!
