Ingredients: Your Gourmet Toolkit

To achieve the perfect balance of creamy and crunchy, ensure your ingredients are prepped as follows:

• 8 Flour Tortillas: Medium size works best for easy rolling.
• 2 Cups Cream Cheese: Softened to room temperature for a lump-free filling.
• 1 Cup Powdered Sugar: For a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth sweetness.
• 1 Cup Fresh Strawberries: Chopped finely to ensure they fit inside the wrap.
• 1 Cup Strawberry Jam: Adds a concentrated burst of berry flavor.
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract: To “regulate” the richness of the cheese.
• 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon: For that signature spiced outer coating.
• ½ Cup Vegetable Oil: For a clean, golden fry.
