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.
- Make Filling Mixture: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon, mixing until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Spread Filling: Evenly spread the cinnamon sugar mixture over each of the four large flour tortillas, covering the surface thoroughly.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla into a log shape. Then, slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick rounds to form the individual cinnamon rolls.
- Prepare for Baking: Lightly grease a baking dish or pan, and arrange the sliced rolls cut side up, spaced slightly apart.
- Bake Rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Make Glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth to create the glaze.
- Glaze and Serve: Once the rolls are done and slightly cooled, drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar filling.
- Use slightly softened butter for easier spreading.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
- Optional: Add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling for added texture.
