- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Brush one side of each tortilla with melted butter.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered side of each tortilla, pressing gently to adhere.
- Stack the tortillas and cut each into 6-8 wedges.
- Arrange tortilla wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Cool completely on the baking sheets.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating on low speed until fully incorporated.
- Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- Gradually add the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, beating on low speed until the dip reaches your desired consistency.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving (optional).
- Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
- Gently toss and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Arrange the cinnamon sugar chips on a large platter, overlapping slightly.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake dip over the chips.
- Spoon the strawberry topping over the cheesecake dip.
- Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and fresh mint leaves (optional).
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For the best results, use softened cream cheese for the cheesecake dip to avoid lumps.
- Watch the chips carefully while baking, as they can burn quickly.
- Chilling the cheesecake dip allows the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
- Macerating the strawberries creates a delicious syrupy sauce.
- Assemble the nachos just before serving to keep the chips crispy.
- Adjust the amount of heavy cream in the cheesecake dip to reach your desired consistency.
