Ingredients
Scale
- 6 small low-carb tortillas (street taco size)
- 5 oz (142 g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (48 g) swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute
- ¼ cup (48 g) swerve granulated sugar substitute
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 4 tbsps (56 g) butter, melted
Instructions
- Filling Preparation: Whip cream cheese with cinnamon and sugar substitute until smooth and homogeneous, creating a luxurious, velvety mixture.
- Tortilla Assembly: Spread the cream cheese blend evenly across each tortilla, maintaining a consistent layer that covers the entire surface.
- Rolling Technique: Tightly roll the tortillas, sealing edges completely to prevent any filling from escaping during the cooking process.
- Skillet Searing: Melt butter in a medium-heat skillet, creating a golden cooking surface designed for optimal browning and crispness.
- Cooking Process: Place rolls in the skillet, rotating periodically to achieve an uniformly crisp, golden-brown exterior, cooking approximately 2-3 minutes per side until perfectly caramelized.
- Finishing Touch: Combine sugar substitute with additional cinnamon to create a fragrant, sweet dusting mixture for final flavor enhancement.
- Final Presentation: Remove crispy rolls from skillet, allowing brief butter drainage, then generously coat with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring complete coverage for maximum taste and visual appeal.
Notes
- Optimize Cream Cheese Blend: Ensure cream cheese is completely softened at room temperature for smoother, lump-free mixing that creates a silky filling.
- Perfect Rolling Technique: Press tortilla edges firmly while rolling to prevent filling from escaping during cooking and maintain a compact shape.
- Control Skillet Temperature: Use medium heat to achieve golden-brown crispiness without burning the tortilla edges or causing uneven cooking.
- Sugar Substitute Strategy: Select a granulated keto-friendly sweetener that caramelizes well and mimics traditional sugar’s texture for the coating.
