DESSERT TACOS
Last time it was at a farmer’s market, I came home with a loot of big, gorgeous strawberries freshly picked from a nearby strawberry farm. These strawberries were so pretty and ripe, we had to eat them or use them in a recipe immediately. Of course, it’s not as much fun to just eat strawberries as to make something tasty out of them. Something tasty like strawberry cheesecake tacos!
These dessert tacos are amazing and so easy to make! You’ll be enjoying this awesome dessert in about 20 minutes.
This taco idea turned out so good that I even surprised myself. I knew it was going to be tasty because you can’t go wrong with a combination of fresh strawberries, cinnamon, and a creamy cheesecake filling, but I didn’t realize just how tasty it would be.
It a perfect combination of textures and flavors. I even made everyone in the house, including our visiting family, try the tacos because it was too good not to eat. Even though they were quite full from lunch, they gobbled them up with a “mmm” and a smile.

OMG! I can’t wait to try this out! Im sho pleaded top handed stumbled on this recipe! Thank you SOO much for posting it! Cheesecake is my favorite dessert & strawberries my favorite fruit… I’m gonna try those recipe with soft taco smelling, though, rather than the crunchy taco shell… I’ll definitely let you know how that ends up working out for me, if you’re interested.

Ugh! My stupid smartphone changed my wording in my post – so sorry about that. It was supposed to say “I’m so pleased to have stumbled on this recipe.” And the soft taco “smelling” was supposed to be “shelling.” Sometimes I have to wonder if my phone isn’t out to make me sound like an idiot or something, like it could possibly think I’d care about that or something! Lol 🤪

Thank you so much for posting all the nutritional value for these. They sound delicious, but I have to be careful of the sodium for my hubby as he has CKD. this allows me to see how much is in them and if there’s any way to cut down on the sodium.
