Instructions

Step 1: Make the Chips

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
  3. Brush the tortillas lightly with melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on both sides.
  4. Cut the tortillas into wedges (like nacho chips) and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Topping

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Fold in the whipped heavy cream gently until fully incorporated. Set aside.

Step 3: Make the Strawberry Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

Step 4: Assemble the Nachos

  1. Arrange the cinnamon-sugar tortilla chips on a serving platter.
  2. Dollop or pipe the cheesecake topping over the chips.
  3. Drizzle the cooled strawberry sauce on top.
  4. Garnish with additional toppings like whipped cream, fresh strawberries, or a drizzle of white chocolate.

Serve and Enjoy!

This dish is best served immediately to keep the chips crispy. It’s a unique twist on traditional nachos and sure to impress your guests!
