Hello, friends! Let me introduce you to my Cheesecake Taquitos. These fun dessert taquitos are utterly divine! 

I debated on what dessert to share for Cinco de Mayo week when a little light bulb went off in my mind. 🙂 I saw Cheesecake Chimichangas, and although they looked amazing, I wasn’t in the mood to deep-fry anything.

That’s when I decided to roll up my favorite cheesecake filling with small flour tortillas, roll them in cinnamon and sugar and bake them to perfection. It worked like magic!

The center of these baked Taquitos is silky smooth with a super easy cheesecake filling. The cinnamon sugar topping over the crispy tortillas makes them even more amazing.

We enjoyed ours with sliced strawberries and whipped cream, and they were gone in no time! Next time, we’re thinking of dunking them in melted chocolate. Oh, yeah. 🙂

    1. I think it’s possible, but i’ve not tried it. If you do try it then I would reheat them in the oven, not the microwave, so the tortillas get crispy again and the filling gets nice and warm.

  1. I added some apples I softened with a little water and sugar in the microwave for 20 seconds in the center. AH-MAZE-ING!!

  2. Totally made these. Made ahead. Baked 2-3 hours later. Put caramel sauce on top. They were a huge hit!!

    These were so easy and fun to make. They are very tasty as well if you like simple desserts. I tend to get into more involved cheesecake flavors but this recipe was perfect for some leftover tortilla shells that I had.

    Delicious! I expected the filling to ooze all over the place, but it didn’t. I used fajita-sized tortillas and just a spooned in a little filling into each, and it was perfect!

    Great recipe …. easy , fast, tastes great !! I tweeked it a little and I just wanted to share it ! After I spread the cream cheese I put seedless strawberry jam and seedless blackberry jam along side the cream cheese before rolling them !! Delicious !!!
