Oh my yum! I swear, these Mini Chef Mondays posts produce some of the most delicious recipes. I’m not sure what it is about these posts but the idea of collaborating with my kids brings out a ton of creativity and today’s recipe is no different. These Dessert Tacos are super easy to make and are perfect for this week’s Cinco de Mayo festivities.
The deliciousness begins with a few simple ingredients such as flour tortillas, vanilla ice cream, strawberries, chocolate syrup, chocolate sprinkles and cinnamon and sugar.
We prepared for the recipe by whipping up a batch of cinnamon-sugar which we used to coat the fried flour tortillas before filling them with vanilla ice cream and topping with sliced strawberries, chocolate syrup and sprinkles.
Many of the tasks for these Dessert Tacos are perfect for little hands to prepare and simple enough to make with the kids for a quick dessert that is bound to please the sweetest of sweet tooths.
Dessert Tacos
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 6 small flour tortillas use small size or cut small rounds from larger ones
- 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- chocolate syrup
- chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
- In a large shallow dish mix together the granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Set to the side.
- In a large skillet heat the canola oil until hot. Place one tortilla in the skillet cook for 10 seconds then using tongs flip over. Remove from the skillet, drain quickly on a paper towel. Dip both sides in the cinnamon sugar. Shake excess cinnamon sugar off and quickly fold while tortilla is still warm. Repeat until all the taco shells are cooked. Once the taco shells are cooked, filled tacos with 1-2 small scoops of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with chocolate syrup and top with sliced strawberries. Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles. Serve quickly.

In the list of ingredients you have 1 cup of VEGETABLE oil, yet in the instructions you say to heat the CANOLA oil. Could you please advise which one is correct please? I am really wanting to make this on the weekend. Thank you.
My apologies, I will be sure to edit the recipe. They should be fried in VEGETABLE OIL.
Will these keep in a covered container if prepared a day ahead?
No, they are best served fresh!
I love dessert tacos! I made mine in the oven folded over a cookie sheet, but your method sounds much better, especially since it include cinnamon-sugar! I’ll have to try it this way next time!
