Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or ground cloves to the cream cheese mixture.
• Use full-fat cream cheese for richer taste and better texture.
• Substitute the Swerve sugar substitute with erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener of your choice.
• If tortillas are not available, try using thin slices of keto-friendly flatbread or low-carb wraps.

Storage

Store any leftover bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them briefly in a skillet over low heat to restore their crispiness before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these bites ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare and freeze the rolled tortillas before slicing and cooking. When ready to eat, slice and cook them straight from the freezer, adding a minute or two to the cooking time.

Are there any alternatives to tortillas?

If zero carb tortillas are hard to find, look for low-carb or keto tortillas, or try using thin slices of low-carb flatbread. Just make sure they are flexible enough to roll without cracking.

2. Spread the filling on tortillas: Evenly spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the surface of each zero carb tortilla, ensuring a smooth layer.
3. Roll the tortillas: Carefully and tightly roll each tortilla closed around the cream cheese filling to form a log.
4. Freeze the rolls: Place the rolled tortillas in the freezer for 1 hour to firm up, making them easier to slice and cook.
5. Slice into spirals: Remove from the freezer and slice the tortillas into bite-sized spirals, each revealing the cinnamon cream cheese swirl.
6. Heat the butter: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat preparing for sautéing.
7. Sauté the bites: Cook the cinnamon cream cheese bites in the melted butter until they are browned and crispy on the outside, turning them gently to cook evenly.
8. Finish with cinnamon sugar: Mix the remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of granulated Swerve sugar substitute and sprinkle this cinnamon sugar over the warm cream cheese bites before serving.

Notes

• To soften cream cheese faster, leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes prior to preparation.
• Ensure the tortillas are tightly rolled to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
• Keep an eye while frying as the cream cheese can melt quickly; medium heat is best to get a crisp outside without burning.
• These bites are best served warm right after cooking for optimal texture and flavor.
• Zero carb tortillas can often be found at specialty grocery stores or online for keto-friendly recipes.
