Ingredients
Scale
For the cinnamon sugar chips:
- 8 small flour tortillas, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the cheesecake dip:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup whipped cream or whipped topping
For the strawberry topping:
- 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Optional toppings:
- White chocolate drizzle
- Crushed graham crackers
- Extra whipped cream
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare chips: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the tortilla wedges on a baking sheet. Brush each wedge with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the chips are crisp and golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely to maintain crispness.
- Make the cheesecake dip: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until well combined. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is fluffy and homogenous.
- Prepare strawberry topping: Combine the diced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a separate bowl. Stir well and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to macerate, allowing the strawberries to release their juices and become wonderfully juicy.
- Assemble the nachos box: Arrange the cinnamon sugar chips as the base layer in a serving box or plate. Add generous scoops or swirls of the cheesecake dip over the chips. Spoon the macerated strawberry topping on top. If desired, finish with a drizzle of white chocolate, a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, extra whipped cream, and fresh mint leaves for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Best served immediately to keep the chips crispy and crunchy.
- Perfect for parties, snack boxes, or as a fun dessert board addition.
- For an easy single-serving option, layer the ingredients in a cup instead of a box.
- Feel free to substitute fresh strawberries with other berries or fruit if preferred.
- Store leftover components separately and assemble just before serving to maintain texture.
