1. Can you make cinnamon rolls with flour tortillas instead of dough?

Yes, you can! Flour tortillas mimic the thin layers of dough once baked. They turn crisp at the edges and soft in the middle, creating a similar texture without yeast or waiting.

2. How do you keep tortilla cinnamon rolls from getting soggy?

Don’t overuse butter or syrup. Always bake in a hot oven and cool on a rack. This prevents moisture from softening the base.

3. What filling works best for quick tortilla cinnamon rolls?

A classic mix of brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter works best. Add vanilla for depth or nuts for crunch.

4. Are tortilla cinnamon rolls healthier than traditional ones?

Yes—there’s no yeast, no eggs, and fewer carbs. Swap ingredients smartly, and they can easily fit into a lighter eating plan.
