Recipe:
- 1st Step – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2nd Step – To make the cheesecake filling, in a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping until well combined. Set aside.
- 3rd Step – To prepare the blueberry compote, in a saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries start to break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
- 5th Step – In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the blueberry mixture, stirring constantly, until the compote thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- 6th Step – To make the taco shells, brush both sides of each flour tortilla with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over both sides of the tortillas.
- 7th Step – Gently fold each tortilla in half and place them on the prepared baking sheet, standing upright with the edges overlapping slightly to form a taco shell shape.
- 8th Step – Bake the taco shells in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- 9th Step – To assemble the Blueberry Cheesecake Tacos, spoon the creamy cheesecake filling into each taco shell.
- 10th Step – Drizzle the blueberry compote over the cheesecake filling, allowing it to cascade down the sides of the tacos.
- 11th Step – Garnish the tacos with additional whipped cream or whipped topping, fresh blueberries, and mint leaves, if desired.
- 12th Step – Serve the Blueberry Cheesecake Tacos immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy cheesecake, tangy blueberry compote, and crispy taco shells.
