Verdict

Not half bad. I plagiarized the idea of tortilla cinnamon rolls from my last trip to Mucho Burrito. The recipe for the tortilla shells came from here, though I didn’t follow through the final step of putting the shells on a skillet. The texture after they were baked was pretty similar, however.

They’re not as savoury as real cinnamon rolls, the doughnuts I make, or pies… but they’re still pleasant.
