  • Total Time: 6 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

For the Cinnamon Sugar Tortillas

  • 8 flour tortillas (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened to room temperature
  • 4 tbsp white granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp milk (adjust as needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the white granulated sugar with ground cinnamon, stirring thoroughly to blend the spices evenly. Set this mixture aside for later use.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas on the stovetop either directly over a low flame or in a medium-sized skillet until they are warm and pliable, which enhances their flavor and makes them easier to roll.
  3. Butter the Tortillas: While the tortillas are still warm, spread softened butter evenly over one side of each tortilla, ensuring the entire surface is covered with a thin layer of melted butter for the best adhesion of cinnamon sugar.
  4. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Generously sprinkle the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered side of each tortilla, ensuring an even coating for maximum flavor.
  5. Roll the Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla from one edge to the other, encasing the cinnamon sugar inside, creating neat cinnamon sugar rolled tortillas ready for serving.
  6. Make the Cream Cheese Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.
  7. Adjust Glaze Consistency: Add extra milk to thin or additional powdered sugar to thicken the glaze as desired, ensuring it has a pourable but creamy texture perfect for drizzling over the cinnamon sugar tortillas.
  8. Serve: Drizzle the cream cheese glaze generously over the rolled tortillas just before serving to add a sweet, creamy complement to the cinnamon sugar filling.
