Instructions

Brush the tortillas with melted butter and then fold them into taco shapes as they bake until the surfaces turn lightly golden and the edges look drier and firmer. The flat rounds become crisp shells with slight bubbling and uneven curves and each one looks a little different from the next.
Melt the white chocolate and then spread it over the outer sides of the cooled shells before pressing on Fruity Pebbles so the bright pieces stick in a loose and uneven layer. The shells now look colorful and textured with little gaps and clumps where the cereal overlaps and the coating sets in irregular patches.
Beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and then fold in the whipped cream until the mixture turns fluffy and pale. The dense ingredients change into a soft filling that holds gentle swirls and looks airy rather than heavy.
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture into each shell so the filling settles into the center and rises above the edges in loose ridges. The empty shells become structured desserts with thick creamy centers and natural spacing and slight overflow in a few spots.
Sprinkle extra Fruity Pebbles over the creamy tops so the bright cereal sinks slightly into the soft filling while some pieces stay perched on top. The smooth surface gains crunch and stronger color contrast and the tacos look more layered and lively.
Let the assembled tacos chill until the filling firms slightly and the white chocolate feels set while the shells stay crisp around the edges. On the plate the tacos look fully finished with creamy centers and visible melting traces and cereal crunch and slight browning on the shells and plenty of homemade imperfections in the coating and filling.

Notes

Pro Tips:

Cool the shells completely before coating so the chocolate sets instead of sliding.
Use full fat cream cheese for the richest texture and the best hold.
Do not overfill the tacos or the shells can soften too quickly.
Save a little extra cereal for the last minute so the topping stays crisp.

Storage: Store the cheesecake filling in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the coated shells separate at room temperature in a closed container so they stay crisp. Once assembled and the tacos are best eaten the same day. Leftovers can be chilled and enjoyed later and but the shells will soften as they sit.
