Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 4 Tortilla wraps
- 0.5 cup Cream cheese
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries, brown sugar, orange juice, and ground cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries begin to pop and the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Once done, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Lay out the tortilla wraps on a flat surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese on each tortilla, covering the surface evenly.
Spoon the cranberry mixture onto the center of each tortilla, distributing it evenly. If using walnuts, sprinkle them on top of the cranberry mixture.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito shape. Make sure the filling is sealed inside.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the burritos from the skillet. Optionally, garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
Slice in half and serve warm. Enjoy your Cranberry Burritos!
