Have you ever tried dessert tacos? Well, if you like tortillas, cheesecake and fruit flavor, I’m sure you’re gonna love this recipe. Since I like unusual recipes, it’s no wonder I was immediately attracted to Blueberry Cheesecake Tacos – first by their looks and when I tasted them – it was love at first sight.
Although they might seem difficult to prepare, it’s, actually quite the opposite – they are very easy to make and you need all the simple ingredients. One more thing… instead of blueberry sauce, you can use the one you like, or make a combination of flavors.
