# Ingredients:
→ For the Filling
01 -
2 oz cream cheese, softened
02 -

2 pinches of cinnamon, split in half
04 -
½ tsp vanilla extract
05 -
2 to 3 fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
→ For Cooking
06 -
1 large flour tortilla
07 -
1 tsp butter
08 -
Honey for drizzling (if you like)
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a small bowl and combine your softened cream cheese with half the sugar, half the cinnamon, and the vanilla. Mix until smooth and set it aside.
02 -
Wash and slice your strawberries into thin pieces. Keep them nearby.
03 -
Take your tortilla and spread the cream cheese mixture all over one side, covering it evenly.
04 -
Place a non-stick skillet on the stove over medium heat and drop in the butter. Let it melt completely.
05 -
Once the butter melts, sprinkle the remaining sugar and cinnamon directly into the pan. Place the tortilla cream cheese side up into the skillet.
06 -
Move fast and arrange your sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese layer while it cooks.
07 -
Keep checking the bottom by lifting an edge. When the sugar turns a nice light brown color, take it off the heat right away. Fold it in half, add a drizzle of honey if you want, and enjoy it warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure your cream cheese is really soft before mixing, or it won't spread smoothly.
02 -
Watch the pan closely during that last step - sugar can go from perfect to burnt in seconds.
03 -
This tastes best eaten right away while the tortilla is still warm and crispy.
