🧁 Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Cream cheese, softened | 2 blocks (8 oz each) |
| Sour cream | ½ cup |
| Granulated sugar | 2 tablespoons |
| Vanilla extract | 2 teaspoons |
| Flour tortillas (8-inch) | 7–8 |
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Salted butter, melted | ½ cup |
| Granulated sugar | 1 cup |
| Ground cinnamon | 2 teaspoons |
🍴 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until completely smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Fill the Tortillas
Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make them easier to roll. Spoon approximately ⅓ cup of the filling near one edge of each tortilla and roll tightly, leaving the ends open.
Step 3: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
Place the melted butter in one bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar. Dip each rolled tortilla into the melted butter, then roll it through the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Step 4: Bake
Arrange the taquitos seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until lightly crisp and golden brown.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Allow the taquitos to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with toppings such as fresh strawberries, whipped cream, caramel sauce, chocolate drizzle, or any combination you like.
These sweet, crunchy cheesecake taquitos are best enjoyed fresh from the oven while the filling is warm and creamy.
