- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Liquid and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)

Instructions
- Craft crispy cinnamon-sugar tortilla chips by heating oven to 375F. Liberally coat tortillas with melted butter, then generously dust with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Slice into triangular wedges and arrange on baking sheet.
- Bake tortilla triangles for 8-10 minutes until achieving golden, crunchy texture. Allow chips to cool completely for optimal crispness.
- Whip cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until achieving smooth, velvety consistency. Gently incorporate whipped cream, maintaining light, airy texture.
- Refrigerate cheesecake mixture to enhance flavor and firmness while preparing strawberry accompaniment.
- Create strawberry glaze by warming strawberry jam with water in saucepan. Stir until achieving silky, uniform mixture.
- Fold sliced strawberries into warm jam sauce, allowing fruit to absorb delicate sweetness. Let mixture cool slightly to intensify flavors.
- Arrange crunchy cinnamon chips on serving platter, creating inviting presentation.
- Position cheesecake dip and strawberry topping in separate elegant bowls alongside chips.
- Serve immediately, encouraging guests to dip crisp chips into creamy cheesecake and luscious strawberry sauce for delightful culinary experience.
Notes
- Swap corn tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free versions for dietary restrictions and added nutrition.
- Create a lighter cheesecake dip by using low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt for a healthier alternative.
- Elevate the strawberry topping by adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or orange liqueur for complex flavor depth.
- Make ahead by storing crispy chips in an airtight container and preparing dip and topping separately to maintain maximum crunchiness.
