Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in melted butter and water, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into portions and roll each into thin circles. Heat a skillet and fry each circle for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Cool on paper towels.
Beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Fill the cooled taco shells with the cream cheese mixture using a piping bag or spoon.
Top with sliced strawberries, arranging beautifully over the cream cheese.
Serve on a platter, optionally topped with whipped cream or chocolate sauce. These are best served chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Be sure the dough is slightly tacky for best results. Cool shells completely before filling to maintain texture.
