- **1/4 cup butter**, melted
- **1 cup strawberries**, chopped
- **1/4 cup sugar**
- **2 tsp water**
- **1 tbsp cornstarch**
- **1 tbsp cold water**
- **1 cup heavy cream**
- **1 cup cream cheese**, softened
- **1 tsp lemon zest**
- **1 tsp vanilla**
- **1/4 cup powdered sugar**
#### Directions:
1. **Preheat Oven:**
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. **Prepare Tortilla Shells:**
- Use a cookie cutter to cut 4-5 rounds out of each tortilla shell, yielding about 20 rounds.
- Dip each tortilla round into the melted butter, then coat it with graham cracker crumbs.
- Flip a muffin tin upside down and place the tortilla rounds between the muffin cups.
- Bake for 10 minutes until they are just golden brown. Let them cool in the pan.
3. **Make the Strawberry Filling:**
- In a small pot, combine the strawberries, sugar, and 2 teaspoons of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer to soften the strawberries.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of cold water and pour it into the strawberry mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly and is slightly chunky. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
4. **Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:**
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
- Chill the cheesecake filling in the fridge for 30 minutes, then transfer it to a piping bag.
5. **Assemble the Tacos:**
- Fill each tortilla shell with the cheesecake filling using the piping bag.
- Top each taco with about 1/2 teaspoon of the strawberry filling.
- Optionally, sprinkle additional graham cracker crumbs on top.
6. **Serve and Enjoy:**
