Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Brush the tortillas with melted butter on both sides, then sprinkle evenly with sugar and cinnamon.
Cut the tortillas into triangles using a pizza cutter or knife.
Arrange the tortilla triangles on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely. The chips will become crunchier as they cool.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Slowly add the heavy cream and beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, similar to whipped frosting.
Chill the cheesecake cream until ready to use.
In a separate bowl, combine diced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently and let sit for 10–15 minutes until syrupy.
Arrange the cooled cinnamon chips on a serving platter. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake cream over the chips.

Top with the strawberry mixture. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with mint or pistachios if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Allow the tortilla chips to cool fully before assembling to keep them crisp.
Chilling the cheesecake cream helps it hold its shape during serving.
Assemble just before serving for the best texture and presentation.

This dessert is best enjoyed fresh; store components separately if needed.
