Instructions
 

Prepare the Taco Shells:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar.

      - Stir in melted butter, water, and vanilla extract until a dough forms.

        - Knead the dough for a couple of minutes until it becomes smooth.

          - Divide the dough into small balls, about 1 to 2 inches in size.

            - Roll each ball into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter.

              Cook the Taco Shells:

                - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

                  - Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly golden and slightly crisp.

                    - Immediately shape the warm tortillas over a taco rack or upside-down muffin tin to create a taco shell. Allow to cool completely and harden.

                      Make the Cheesecake Filling:

                        - In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

                          - Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while mixing until fully combined.

                            - In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.

                              Prepare the Strawberry Topping:

                                - In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes until the strawberries release some juice.

                                  Assemble the Tacos:

                                    - Take a taco shell and fill it generously with the cheesecake filling.

                                      - Top with a spoonful of the marinated strawberries.

                                        - Drizzle with extra strawberry juice if desired.

                                          Serve:

                                            - Serve your Strawberry Cheesecake Tacos immediately, garnished with a dollop of whipped cream and a mint leaf for an extra touch.
