Step 1
Start by heating some oil in a deep fryer or a large pot until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, mix together the cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a bowl until it’s nice and smooth. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out 3-inch circles from your tortillas. Fold each circle gently into a taco shape. Carefully hold the folded tortilla with tongs and fry it in the hot oil until it crisps up and holds its shape—this should take around 2 to 3 minutes. Once golden brown, place the fried tortillas on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. While they’re still warm, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over them. Finally, spoon the cream cheese mixture inside each shell and top with grapes and strawberries for a fresh, sweet finish.
