Total Time

  • 25 minutes

Servings

  • 4–6 servings

Ingredients

For the Cinnamon Sugar Chips:

  • 6 small flour tortillas (cut into triangles)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

For the Cheesecake Dip:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

For Topping:

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Optional: whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or extra cinnamon sugar for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cinnamon Sugar Chips

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Cut the flour tortillas into triangle-shaped wedges (like nacho chips). Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Brush each tortilla wedge generously with the melted butter.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered tortilla wedges, ensuring they’re well coated.
  5. Bake the tortilla chips for 8–10 minutes , or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Dip

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and light in texture.

Step 3: Assemble the Nachos Box

  1. Arrange the cooled cinnamon sugar chips on a large serving platter or in a decorative box for a fun presentation.
  2. Spoon the cheesecake dip into a small serving bowl and place it in the center of the chips.
  3. Top with fresh strawberry slices around the dip or directly over the chips.

Step 4: Add Final Touches (Optional)

  1. Drizzle whipped cream or melted chocolate over the top for extra flair.
  2. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar if you want to amp up the sweetness.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve immediately and enjoy dipping the crispy cinnamon chips into the rich, creamy cheesecake dip!

Pro Tips

  • Make Ahead: The cinnamon sugar chips can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container to maintain crispiness. The cheesecake dip can also be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days .
  • Switch It Up: Use flavored tortillas (like honey wheat or spinach) for a unique twist on the chips.
  • Customize Toppings: Add other fruits like blueberries, kiwi, or banana slices for variety.

Variations
