Directions

  1. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon together in a bowl until smooth.

  3. Cut 3-inch circles out of each tortilla using a round cookie cutter. Fold tortilla rounds into a taco-shell shape.

  4. 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.

  5. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over cooked tortilla rounds. Spread cream cheese mixture into each shell, top with grapes and strawberries.

Recipe Note

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.
