Spiced cream cheese is rolled inside soft tortillas, chilled firm, sliced into spirals, and pan-fried in butter until golden. A sweet cinnamon coating adds crisp texture to every bite.
Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl with the vanilla, confectioners Swerve, and 1 tsp cinnamon. The filling should look smooth, with no visible streaks of spice.
Spread half the filling across each tortilla. An even layer helps the spirals hold a consistent shape.
Roll each filled tortilla into a tight log. The tortilla should wrap snugly around the center without squeezing out the filling.
Place the rolled tortillas in the freezer for 1 hour. They should feel firm enough to cut without flattening.
Cut the chilled rolls into spiral-shaped bites. Clean, round slices will show the cream cheese swirl.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. It should foam as it heats without turning dark.
Cook the spirals in the butter until their outsides turn browned and crisp. Look for golden edges and a lightly crisp surface.
Combine the granulated Swerve with the remaining cinnamon, then sprinkle it over the bites before serving. The coating should cling to their warm surfaces.
Notes
Chilling tip: Keep the rolled logs in the freezer for the full hour so they slice into clean spirals without flattening or leaking filling into the pan.Skillet heat: Keep the heat moderate so the butter foams without scorching, giving the tortilla edges time to brown and crisp.Cinnamon coating: Dust the cinnamon sweetener over the spirals immediately after frying while the surfaces are warm and glossy so it clings properly.Reheating: Warm leftover bites in a dry skillet over gentle heat or in a toaster oven to restore crispness. Avoid the microwave, which softens the tortilla.Nutrition information is an estimate based on common ingredients and serving sizes. Values may vary depending on brands, portions, and substitutions.
