Cinnamon sugar tortilla roll-ups always remind me of the simplest treats my mom used to make when we wanted something sweet without much effort. When I was growing up, she’d mix cinnamon and sugar in a little bowl, and somehow that smell alone made the whole kitchen feel warm. I remember standing beside her, rolling and sprinkling, sneaking a taste before anything even had time to set. This takes me right back to those easy afternoons where a few ingredients turned into something comforting and just right.
