Step 2: Cooking the Berrylicious Cheesecake Tacos
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Stack the tortillas and use the 1.5-inch cookie cutter to cut out small circles. Pierce each tortilla circle with a fork on both sides to prevent air bubbles.

Mix the cream cheese, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag and pipe it into the cooled taco shells. Top each taco with blueberry and strawberry jam for a sweet finish.
