Best 5 Mini Dessert Tacos Recipes

CHEESECAKE DESSERT TACOS! (NO BAKE CHEESECAKE!)

Steps:

• Using a 3.5″ circle cutter, cut out circles from your tortillas. You should get about 5 from each tortilla. (You can use any size cutter but this was the perfect size for a 2-3 bite taco).
• Heat about 1 ½″ of oil in a pan on the stove over medium heat. Use a little scrap of tortilla to put in the oil and make sure it's good & bubbly.
• Using tongs, place one circle in the oil for about 5 seconds. Flip it over and fold it in half holding it folded for about 5 seconds or until browned. Flip over and fry the other side until crispy. Immediately remove from the oil giving it a little shake and place into the graham crumbs if using.
• Set on a pan to cool. You can leave these at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Cream together cream cheese and lemon juice until soft.
• Add whipping cream and beat on medium for 2 minutes. Add in sugar and vanilla then beat until stiff and fluffy. Place in a ziploc bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Pipe cheesecake filling into each taco. Top with pie filling and serve.

DESSERT TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Heat taco shells as directed on box. Meanwhile, in large bowl, gently mix fruit.
• Carefully remove cardboard from ice cream (do not damage cardboard). With serrated knife, cut ice cream into 6 (4x1x1-inch) rectangles. (Reassemble box around remaining ice cream for freezer storage; if necessary, wrap carton in plastic wrap to secure.)
• Place 1 rectangle of ice cream in bottom of each taco shell. Divide fruit mixture evenly over ice cream. Drizzle chocolate topping evenly over fruit. Top with whipped cream and nuts. Serve immediately.

MINI DESSERT TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon together in a bowl until smooth.
• Cut 3-inch circles out of each tortilla using a round cookie cutter. Fold tortilla rounds into a taco-shell shape.
• 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.
• Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over cooked tortilla rounds. Spread cream cheese mixture into each shell; top with grapes and strawberries.

MINI TACO S'MORES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut 34 rounds from the tortillas.
• Microwave the butter, sugar and cinnamon in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the butter is melted. Brush both sides of the tortilla rounds with the butter mixture.
• Flip two 12-cup muffin tins upside down. Place the tortilla rounds in between the muffin cups in both directions, folding them to create mini taco shells (you should get 17 per muffin tin). Bake until the shells are crisp and just beginning to turn light golden brown, 11 to 13 minutes.
• Carefully overstuff each shell with mini marshmallows while they are still warm and in the muffin tins. Using a kitchen blowtorch, toast the marshmallows until golden brown all over. Stuff 1 milk chocolate rectangle on top of the marshmallows on each taco, pushing it down so the warm marshmallows melt the chocolate. Let sit until partially melted, about 5 minutes, then use the kitchen blowtorch to melt the chocolate completely.
• Put the remaining chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted, about 1 minute.
• Transfer the tacos to a serving platter, sprinkle with the graham cracker crumbs and serve warm alongside the melted chocolate for dipping.

QUICK AND EASY MINI TACOS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Stir in water and taco seasoning mix. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
• Lay scoop-style tortilla chips out on a microwave-safe plate, and spoon in the prepared beef, working in batches as needed. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top and microwave until the cheese on top is completely melted, about 1 minute. It will be hot so don't eat it right away. Serve warm.
