Ingredients
  

  • 6 flour tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon-sugar (for coating)
  • Oil (for frying) Best olive oil

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Spread the cheesecake filling evenly across each tortilla, then roll them up tightly.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the rolled tortillas until golden and crispy (about 2 minutes on each side).
  • Remove the rolls from the oil and immediately coat them in cinnamon-sugar.

Notes

Pro Tips:

  • For an extra crispy exterior, make sure the oil is hot enough before frying.
  • Get creative with the filling—add chocolate chips, fruit, or a touch of cinnamon for a flavor boost!
  • Serve with whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for the ultimate indulgence!
