Filling
- 5 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Swerve confectioners sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (divided)
Roll-Ups
- 6 low-carb tortillas (small, street taco size)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup Swerve granulated sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (remaining)
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 cup of Swerve confectioners sugar substitute. Blend thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Assemble roll-ups: Lay each low-carb tortilla flat and spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly down the center of each one.
- Roll tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla closed around the cream cheese filling, ensuring the filling stays inside and the roll is tight.
- Melt butter: Heat the 4 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
- Cook roll-ups: Place each filled tortilla seam side down in the skillet. Cook on all sides, turning carefully, to ensure that each side becomes evenly golden and crispy. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Coat and sprinkle: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/4 cup granulated Swerve sugar substitute with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Once the roll-ups are cooked in butter, sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture over them while still warm to add a delicious finishing touch.
