#### Ingredients:

- **5 8-inch tortillas** (about 20 rounds)

- **1 cup graham cracker crumbs**

- **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:**

   - Serve the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos immediately for the best texture and flavor.


These delightful cheesecake tacos are perfect for a fun dessert or a special occasion treat. Enjoy!
