For the Homemade Blueberry Sauce:
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar

In a separate dish, mix 2 tablespoons of water with cornstarch, then add to the blueberry mixture. Cook briefly until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Cheesecake Filling: Whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream. Transfer the mixture into a piping bag.
- Assembly: Fill the prepared tortilla shells with the cheesecake filling using the piping bag. Top each taco with the homemade blueberry sauce.
