Tasty Mini Dessert Taco Delights

Ingredients

• Sufficient vegetable oil for frying, approximately 2 cups
• Softened cream cheese from an 8-ounce package
• Brown sugar, a half cup of sweetness
• A teaspoon of vanilla extract for a hint of flavor
• Ground cinnamon, just half a teaspoon
• Eight generously-sized flour tortillas
• Sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, about a quarter cup or to your liking
• Handful of sliced green grapes to add a burst of freshness
• Minced fresh strawberries, approximately half a cup or as desired

Step 1

In a deep-fryer or large saucepan, heat some oil until it reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for the perfect frying temperature.

Step 2

Start by blending cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl until the mixture turns velvety smooth.

Step 3

Next, use a round cookie cutter to create charming 3-inch circles from the tortillas, then gently fold them into the shape of taco shells.

Step 4

With the help of tongs, carefully immerse the folded tortillas into the hot oil. Fry them until they turn a delightful golden brown color and hold their taco shape nicely, which usually takes around 2 to 3 minutes. Once done, transfer the crispy tortillas to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat this process for the remaining tortilla rounds.

Step 5

After frying, generously dust the tortilla rounds with a sweet sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. Fill each shell with the creamy cheese blend, and top it off with a colorful mix of fresh grapes and strawberries for a burst of flavor.
