🧁 Ingredients
For the Filling

| Vanilla extract | 2 teaspoons |
| Flour tortillas (8-inch) | 7 to 8 |

🍴 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Fill and Roll
Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make them easier to roll. Spoon approximately ⅓ cup of filling onto one end of each tortilla, then roll tightly, leaving the ends open.
Step 3: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
Place the melted butter in one bowl and combine the cinnamon and sugar in another. Dip each rolled tortilla into the melted butter, then coat completely in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Step 4: Bake
Arrange the taquitos seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
Step 5: Serve
Allow the taquitos to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or caramel drizzle.
