Description
Easy Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Roll-Ups are a delightful dessert made with flour tortillas, butter, and a sweet cinnamon-sugar mixture, perfect for a quick treat.
Ingredients
- 4 medium flour tortillas, about 8 inches each
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
- Powdered sugar, for serving, optional
- Optional fillings: ¼ cup mini chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened, 1 small banana, thinly sliced, 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
- Combine the melted butter with the vanilla extract, if using. Brush one side of each tortilla generously with the butter.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered tortillas. If desired, add a small amount of chocolate chips or another filling.
- Starting at one edge, roll each tortilla tightly into a cylinder. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the outside of each roll with a little additional melted butter and sprinkle with any remaining cinnamon sugar.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, turning the rolls once halfway through if needed, until lightly golden and crisp on the outside.
- Allow the rolls to cool for 2–3 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and enjoy while warm.
Notes
- Roll tightly to help the tortillas hold their shape while baking.
- Don’t overfill to prevent the rolls from opening or leaking.
- For extra crunch, brush lightly with butter and bake for another 1–2 minutes, watching carefully.
- Try cooking in an air fryer at 350°F for about 5–7 minutes, checking frequently.
- For a creamy texture, spread a thin layer of sweetened cream cheese inside before adding the cinnamon sugar.
