Ingredients
- Cream Cheese: 8 ounces soften before mixing
- Powdered Sugar: ¼ cup blends smoothly into the filling
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon enhances flavor with a gentle aroma
- Flour Tortillas: 6–8 medium choose soft, flexible tortillas
- Granulated Sugar: ¼ cup for coating with cinnamon
- Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon plus extra for dusting, adjust as desired
- Neutral Frying Oil: Enough for frying canola or vegetable oil recommended
- Optional Toppings: Varies e.g., chocolate sauce, caramel drizzle, whipped cream, fresh fruit
Instructions
- Blend the Cream Cheese Filling: Soften 8 ounces of cream cheese and mix with ¼ cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Add optional mix-ins like Nutella or fruit jam if desired.
- Fill and Roll the Tortillas: Lay a tortilla on a flat surface, spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the filling near one end, fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal the filling inside.
- Fry Until Golden: Heat enough neutral oil in a pan to cover the wraps partially. Fry them in small batches at approximately 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes per side until they are golden brown, then drain on paper towels or a rack.
- Apply Cinnamon Sugar Coating: While the wraps are still warm, roll or dust them with a mixture of ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Serve: Optionally, drizzle with extra toppings like chocolate sauce or caramel, add whipped cream or fresh fruit, and serve immediately.
