- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
For the Strawberry Topping:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
1. Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Chips
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter.
In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the tortillas.
Cut tortillas into triangle-shaped chips and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Let cool completely.
2. Prepare the Cheesecake Dip
In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently fold in the whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. Make the Strawberry Topping
In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the strawberry jam and water until smooth and warm (not boiling).
Toss in sliced strawberries and stir to coat. Let cool slightly.
4. Assemble and Serve
Place cinnamon-sugar chips on a serving tray or platter.
Serve the cheesecake dip and strawberry topping in bowls alongside, or drizzle them over the chips for a loaded nacho-style presentation.
Serve immediately.
