Step-by-step instructions

1. Crush the Cereal: In a food processor, pulse the Fruity Pebbles until they are finely crushed. Transfer them to a shallow dish to prepare for coating the tortillas.
2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly warm each tortilla for about 10 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
3. Coat the Tortillas: Dip each warm tortilla into the crushed Fruity Pebbles, pressing gently to coat both sides. Set them aside on a plate as you prepare the filling.
4. Mix the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the tablespoon of sugar until stiff peaks form.
6. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until fully incorporated and fluffy.
7. Fill the Tacos: Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly into each Fruity Pebbles-coated tortilla, folding them into taco shapes.
8. Sprinkle: Optionally, top with rainbow sprinkles for a fun burst of color and texture.
9. Serve: Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill before serving.
