Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cinnamon rolls.
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix until smooth to create a sweet, cinnamon-flavored spread.
- Spread Filling: Evenly spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture over each flour tortilla, covering the surface thoroughly.
- Roll and Slice: Roll each tortilla tightly from one edge into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortillas into 1-inch wide rounds to form individual rolls.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the sliced rolls cut-side up in a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make Glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth to create a sweet glaze.
- Glaze and Serve: Once the cinnamon rolls are warm and golden, drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top before serving for an extra sweet finish.
Notes
- Use large flour tortillas to ensure the rolls have enough size when sliced.
- For a richer flavor, you can use melted butter with a touch of cinnamon added directly to it.
- The glaze consistency can be adjusted by adding more milk for a thinner drizzle or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
- These rolls are best served warm but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
- To make the rolls easier to slice, refrigerate briefly after rolling before cutting.
