Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 2 cups oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oil in a frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
- In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Line a plate with paper towels to drain fried roll-ups after cooking.
- Spread a spoonful of cream cheese mixture onto each tortilla, roll it up tightly, and seal the edge.
- Fry roll-ups in small batches until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes per side.
- Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish, then immediately roll hot fried roll-ups in the mixture.
- Serve warm with optional chocolate or caramel drizzle.
Notes
- Seal the rolls tightly to avoid filling leaks while frying.
- Work in small batches to maintain oil temperature.
- Roll in cinnamon sugar while still hot for the best coating.
