Tips on Making Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Roll-Ups
As mentioned earlier, this is an easy 15-minute recipe for baked cinnamon tortilla roll-ups that involves only a handful of common ingredients to make. Aside from that, we have more tips and techniques for you! These will ensure that you’ll make them perfectly at home every time.
- Use flour tortillas. Flour tortillas are best for sweet tortilla dessert recipes such as this! Corn tortillas go better with savory and salty recipes but you can still use them if they’re the only ones available.
- Fill each flour tortilla with just enough; do not overfill. This is so that you’ll be able to roll them tightly without the filling overflowing. Secure each roll with a toothpick, if needed.
- Try different flavors! You can replace the cinnamon with cocoa powder or pumpkin spice for a twist. You can also toss in chopped up berries and nuts with the cream cheese filling for added texture and flavor.
- Make cinnamon sugar tortilla roll-ups ahead. You can assemble, individually wrap in parchment paper, and freeze them for up to 2 months. Just thaw in the fridge overnight or in the microwave on High for 1 minute before baking.
- Serve the cinnamon sugar tortilla as dessert nachos by slicing the flour tortillas into chips instead! You can use a pizza cutter or cookie cutters for this. Serve the cinnamon tortilla chips with the cream cheese filling as a dip, fruit salsa, peanut butter, whipped cream, or any of your favorite dessert dips. It also makes a great ice cream topping for vanilla ice cream!
