How To Make Tortilla Cinnamon Rolls In A Microwave

Finish off with a light sprinkle of cinnamon across the entire tortilla.

Now it’s time to form the cinnamon roll. Using a pizza cutter or knife, start on the outside edge of the tortilla and slice it up into even strips about 1″ wide.

Roll up the edges to keep them inside the cinnamon roll. Then add the small roll of tortilla to other strips and continue rolling it all together (see photos).

Once cinnamon roll is formed, lightly squeeze so the roll keeps its shape in the microwave.

Place cinnamon roll on a heat-safe plate and microwave for 30 seconds.

Once treat is ready, remove from microwave, slice & enjoy!

Cooking Tips

  • If the roll is hard to form together, use extra cream cheese as “glue”
  • You can make as many of these cinnamon rolls as you want, just add more tortillas
  • Be sure to use a microwave-safe plate for heating

    Yummy! So quick to make – will be my go-to lazy breakfast. Genius idea! Tempted to top with icing (maybe if I was less generous with the brown sugar). I stumbled on your site and now look forward to trying more of your recipes. All the best!
