Description

Buttery flour tortillas rolled up with a sweet cream cheese filling, pan-fried until golden, and coated in cinnamon sugar. A quick and easy dessert or brunch treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • For the cinnamon sugar coating:
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  2. 2. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. 3. Roll up each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides slightly as you roll to seal in the filling.
  4. 4. In a shallow dish, mix together the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
  5. 5. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush the rolled tortillas with melted butter on all sides.
  6. 6. Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cream cheese is warmed through.
  7. 7. While still warm, roll each cooked roll-up in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  8. 8. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

For extra richness, add a pinch of nutmeg to the cream cheese filling. These roll-ups can also be baked at 375°F for 10-12 minutes instead of pan-frying.
