For the Cheesecake Topping:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)

Optional Toppings:

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Chips
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
- Brush the tortillas lightly with melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on both sides.
- Cut the tortillas into wedges (like nacho chips) and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let cool completely.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Topping
- Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the whipped heavy cream gently until fully incorporated. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Strawberry Sauce
- In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Step 4: Assemble the Nachos
- Arrange the cinnamon-sugar tortilla chips on a serving platter.
- Dollop or pipe the cheesecake topping over the chips.
- Drizzle the cooled strawberry sauce on top.
- Garnish with additional toppings like whipped cream, fresh strawberries, or a drizzle of white chocolate.
Serve and Enjoy!
