Let’s Make it together
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s get rolling!
Prepare Your Creamy Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix until everything is well combined and fluffy.
Layer on the Tortillas: Lay out each tortilla flat on your work surface. Use a spatula to spread a generous layer of your cream cheese mixture over each tortilla.
Add Your Fruits: Sprinkle fresh fruit evenly across the cream cheese layer on each tortilla. Feel free to mix and match your favorite fruits for added texture and taste.
Roll Them Up! : Starting from one end, carefully roll each tortilla tightly but gently so that all the delicious fillings stay intact.
Chill Before Serving : Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape better when slicing.
