Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed golden Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Step 2: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the strawberry gelatin powder and a tablespoon of hot water until the powder is fully dissolved.
Step 3: Pour the dissolved gelatin mixture over the buttered cookie crumbs. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are vibrantly pink and evenly coated.
Step 4: Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly toasted and fragrant. Let it cool completely. Once cool, break it up into small crumbles if it's clumped together.
Step 5: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray both sides of the mini flour tortillas with cooking spray.
Step 6: In a shallow dish, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Dredge each tortilla in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
Step 7: Drape the tortillas over the rungs of an oven rack or a taco shell baking rack to create a taco shape. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Watch them carefully, as they can burn quickly. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 8: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Step 9: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined and no lumps remain. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 10: In a separate cold bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to stiff peaks.
Step 11: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the filling.
Step 12: Carefully fill each cooled crispy taco shell with the cheesecake filling. You can use a spoon or a piping bag for a neater look.
Step 13: Generously sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping over the cheesecake filling in each taco.
Step 14: Garnish with fresh sliced or diced strawberries and an optional dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately and enjoy your Dreamy Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos!
