Tortillas Are The Unanticipated Ingredient You Need For The Easiest Cinnamon Rolls
BY JAVARIA AKBAR
Instead of spending hours kneading and rolling homemade dough for cinnamon rolls, use a pack of tortillas to make the sweet treat in mere minutes.
This trick that uses tortillas and a muffin tray comes from a viral TikTok. Four tortillas is a starting point, and you can use more or less depending on your tray’s dimensions.
Spread coconut oil or melted butter on a flour tortilla, then liberally sprinkle a mixture of sugar and cinnamon over the entire surface area.
Stack another tortilla on top and repeat the cinnamon sugar application process until all four tortillas are in a stack, then roll them up like a roulade to create a log shape.
Use a sharp knife to slice the log vertically into five or six pinwheels. Line your muffin pan with cupcake liners and brush the wells with melted butter or coconut oil.
Add cinnamon sugar and crushed pecans to the bottom of each well to create a sweet topping, then place a tortilla pinwheel in each hole and bake until golden.
Remove each roll from the muffin pan by tapping your fingers gently on the bottom of each well. The simple and delicious rolls will fall right out onto your cooling rack.
