Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped mixed nuts, 1/2 cup of maple syrup, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the nuts are well-coated and the mixture is evenly combined.
- Lay each flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a generous amount of the nut mixture evenly onto one side of each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spillage.
- Fold each tortilla in half, then roll it up tightly to create a burrito shape, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed.
- In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until bubbly and slightly browned for added flavor.
- Carefully place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy, taking care not to burn the tortillas.
- Once cooked, remove the burritos from the skillet and let them cool for a few minutes on a plate to avoid burning your fingers.
- Slice the burritos in half diagonally and serve warm, drizzled with extra maple syrup for an indulgent touch. Enjoy the delightful crunch and sweetness!
Tips
- Feel free to customize the nut mixture with your favorites or add seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds for extra crunch.
- For a chocolatey twist, consider adding mini chocolate chips to the nut mixture.
- These burritos can also be made ahead of time and reheated in a toaster oven for a quick breakfast on the go.
