Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cream cheese softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream
Cinnamon sugar for dusting (1/4 cup sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon cinnamon)
Chocolate sauce for drizzling (optional)
Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions

Make the Taco Shells: In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in flour until a dough forms. Let it cool slightly.
Shape the Shells: Roll the dough into small balls and flatten them into discs. Fry in hot oil until golden brown, then shape them into taco shells using a taco mold or by draping over a rack to cool.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
Fill the Taco Shells: Once the taco shells are cooled, fill each shell with the cheesecake filling using a piping bag or spoon.
Dust and Serve: Dust the filled tacos with cinnamon sugar. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and top with whipped cream if desired. Serve immediately.
