Mini Dessert Tacos image

I made these on a whim while trying to clean out my refrigerator. Ended up with this gem! Would be great at a shower or any other get-together where you are serving finger-foods. Also, would be a great dessert on your family taco night.

Time 25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 large flour tortillas
¼ cup cinnamon sugar, or as needed
½ cup sliced green grapes, or to taste
½ cup minced fresh strawberries, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon together in a bowl until smooth.
  • Cut 3-inch circles out of each tortilla using a round cookie cutter. Fold tortilla rounds into a taco-shell shape.
  • Hold folded tortilla with tongs and cook in the preheated oil until the taco shape holds and tortilla is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer cooked tortilla to a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining tortilla rounds.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over cooked tortilla rounds. Spread cream cheese mixture into each shell; top with grapes and strawberries.
