Ingredients
Scale
For the Cinnamon Rolls
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s the perfect temperature for baking the cinnamon rolls.
- Prepare Cinnamon Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir well until you have a smooth, evenly mixed cinnamon sugar filling.
- Spread Filling on Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat and evenly spread the cinnamon sugar mixture over each tortilla, ensuring the entire surface is covered for maximum flavor.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla like a jelly roll. Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick rounds to form the individual cinnamon rolls.
- Bake the Rolls: Place the cinnamon roll slices cut-side up in a greased baking dish, leaving a bit of space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze and Serve: Once the cinnamon rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and while still warm, drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the rolls. Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful treat!
Notes
- Use fresh tortillas for best results; old or dry tortillas may crack when rolled.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with coconut oil and milk with almond or oat milk.
- These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated gently in the microwave.
- If you like a thicker glaze, reduce the milk amount slightly.
- Optional: Add chopped nuts or raisins inside the roll before baking for extra texture.
