Scale
6 small flour tortillas
1 cup cherry pie filling
1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)

1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
Shape the Taco Shells: Cut tortillas into circles using a round cutter. Fry in hot oil until golden while folded—this gives you the ultimate dessert taco crunch and a sweet handheld treat vibe.
Cinnamon Sugar Coat: Toss hot shells in cinnamon sugar right after frying. This step adds next-level flavor and makes each bite crazy delicious.
Whip the Filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped topping—this makes a silky, creamy base that’s perfect for dessert tacos.
Assemble the Tacos: Spoon cheesecake filling into each taco shell, then add cherry pie filling over the top—hello flavor bomb! This combo is always a crowd-favorite.
Top It Off: Add a swirl of whipped topping and a fresh cherry on top for the cutest presentation and a picture-perfect dessert moment!
