### 👩‍🍳 How to Make Cheesecake Taquitos

**1. Make the filling**
In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice until smooth and fluffy.

**2. Fill and roll**
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto each tortilla. Roll tightly like a taquito or cigar, tucking in the ends if desired.

**3. Cook to crispy perfection**

* **To fry:** Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry taquitos for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
* **To bake:** Brush with melted butter and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping once halfway.

**4. Coat in cinnamon sugar**
While still warm, roll taquitos in a cinnamon-sugar mixture for that sweet churro-like finish.

**5. Add toppings**
Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce, or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh fruit for a restaurant-style dessert.
