storage/reheating

Strawberry Cheesecakeadillas are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat or in a toaster oven until warm and crisp. Avoid microwaving, as it may make the tortillas soggy. Freezing is not recommended due to the cream cheese and fruit texture after thawing.

FAQs

Can I use flavored cream cheese?

Yes! Strawberry or honey vanilla cream cheese works great and adds extra flavor.

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Fresh is best, but thawed and drained frozen strawberries can work in a pinch.

What’s the best tortilla for this recipe?

Soft flour tortillas work best for texture and flavor—use regular or low-carb if preferred.

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can prep the filling and slice the strawberries ahead, but assemble and cook just before serving for best texture.

Can I bake them instead of frying?

Yes, brush with butter and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway for crispness.

Are these kid-friendly?

Absolutely—they’re fun to make and even more fun to eat.

How do I keep the filling from leaking?

Don’t overfill and press down gently when folding; cook seam-side down first.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes, use gluten-free tortillas and ensure your cream cheese is certified gluten-free.

What toppings go well with these?

Whipped cream, chocolate sauce, caramel drizzle, or a dusting of powdered sugar all work beautifully.

Can I make a savory version?

Sure! Skip the sugar and strawberries and try a filling of ricotta, herbs, and veggies for a savory twist.
