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: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready to bake the cinnamon rolls evenly.
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the melted butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a sweet, spiced filling.
- Spread the filling: Evenly spread the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture onto each flour tortilla, coating the surface completely for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Roll and slice: Tightly roll up each filled tortilla from one edge to the other, then slice each roll into approximately 1-inch thick rounds to form the individual cinnamon rolls.
- Bake the rolls: Place the sliced rolls in a greased baking dish, arranging them close but not overcrowded. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and slightly caramelized.
- Make the glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until you achieve a smooth, pourable glaze consistency.
- Glaze and serve: Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven and still warm, drizzle the vanilla glaze generously over the top. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter to ensure even mixing with the sugar and cinnamon.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute light brown sugar with dark brown sugar.
- The glaze can be adjusted by adding more milk for a thinner consistency or more powdered sugar for a thicker one.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
- To warm leftovers, heat them gently in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
