Ingredient Breakdown

Let’s Get Cooking!
Beat the Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of softened cream cheese until it’s nice and smooth about 2-3 minutes at medium speed. You want it creamy, not chunky!
Add the Sweetness: Add in the 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, blending until combined make sure to scrape the sides of your bowl so you get all that luscious creaminess! This should take about another minute.
Fold in the Strawberries: Gently fold in your diced strawberries, being careful not to break them down too much those lovely pieces are going to give you bursts of flavor! Set the bowl aside.
Warm Up the Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm the tortillas just until they’re pliable (about 30 seconds on each side). This makes them easier to fold without cracking.
Fill ‘Em Up: Spoon a generous amount of the cheesecake mixture into the center of each tortilla go ahead, don’t be shy!
Taco Time: Fold the tortillas over to create taco shapes. This is where it gets fun and messy!
