🍓 Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture – frozen strawberries can make the filling too watery
🔥 Keep the heat at medium-high to get crispy tortillas without burning – too low heat will make them soggy
🧀 Make sure cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature for smooth mixing – cold cream cheese will create lumps in the filling
