Why PACHA

PACHA Sprouted Buckwheat Tortillas are made with just three simple ingredients — organic sprouted buckwheat, organic psyllium husk, and sea salt. No xanthan gum, no binders, no additives — just real food that's certified gluten-free, vegan, and free from the top 8 allergens. Unlike most gluten-free tortillas that rely on starches and gums to hold their shape, PACHA uses traditional sprouting and fermentation instead, creating a tortilla that's soft, flexible, and easy to digest with a naturally rich flavor. At 69 calories per tortilla, they're a clean, simple base for everything from tacos to — as it turns out — cinnamon rolls.

Ingredients

For the cinnamon roll tortillas:

8 PACHA Sprouted Buckwheat Tortillas

4–6 tbsp cream cheese, softened (regular or vegan)

½ tbsp coconut sugar, plus more for sprinkling

½ tsp cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling

1 tsp 4th & Heart Ghee (spray ghee works great here)

For the vanilla yogurt frosting:

1½ cups (12 oz) Norr Icelandic Skyr, plain full-fat

2 tbsp powdered sugar

½ tsp Vanilla Bean Project Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions

1. Soften the tortillas

Dampen a clean kitchen towel and wrap the tortillas together as a stack (no need to separate them into individual towels). Microwave for 45 seconds until soft and pliable. This step is key — it keeps the tortillas from cracking when you roll them.

2. Prepare the filling

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, coconut sugar, and cinnamon until smooth and spreadable.

3. Fill and roll

Lay a softened tortilla flat. Lightly spray or brush with 4th & Heart Ghee, then spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture across the surface. Sprinkle with a little extra coconut sugar and cinnamon. Roll the tortilla tightly into a log, then slice into rounds — about 4 to 5 pieces per tortilla depending on your preferred size.

4. Bake

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the rolls cut-side up in a lightly greased baking dish, snug enough that they support each other. Bake for 15–18 minutes until the edges are lightly browned and the tops no longer look wet or doughy.

Why we love 4th & Heart 💛

4th & Heart Ghee is made from grass-fed, pasture-raised butter from New Zealand and Australia, slow-cooked to remove the water and milk solids — leaving behind 100% pure butterfat that's naturally lactose-free. With a smoke point of 485°F, it handles the heat beautifully while adding a rich, subtle butteriness that takes these rolls to the next level.

5. Make the frosting

While the rolls bake, whisk together the Norr Icelandic Skyr, powdered sugar, and Vanilla Bean Project Pure Vanilla Extract until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.

Why we love Norr 🌿

Norr is made from skyr — a Nordic dairy tradition dating back over a thousand years to the Vikings, where it was a dependable source of nutrition through long Icelandic winters. Today, Norr uses milk from grass-fed cows raised on local organic farms, fermented slowly with live and active cultures, then gently strained until thick, smooth, and naturally high in protein. The result is a rich, creamy frosting base that adds tang and body without weighing it down.

6. Frost and serve

Remove the rolls from the oven and drizzle generously with the vanilla yogurt frosting while they're still warm. Serve immediately.

Why we love Vanilla Bean Project 🌿

Vanilla Bean Project makes the first Regenerative Organic Certified® Pure Vanilla Extract on the market — sourced from vanilla beans grown on regenerative farms that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and the well-being of farming communities. Gluten free, vegan, kosher, and non-GMO, it's the kind of ingredient that makes a simple frosting taste like something special.

PACHA Tip 💛

Don't skip the wet towel step — it's what makes the tortillas flexible enough to roll without cracking.

If your tortillas are frozen: microwave them straight from frozen on the defrost setting for 20–30 seconds at a time, testing as you go until thawed, then continue with the damp towel step as usual.

If your cream cheese is straight from the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before spreading so it goes on smoothly without pulling the tortilla apart.

For a fully vegan version, swap in vegan cream cheese and a plant-based yogurt for the frosting.

Allergy note: PACHA tortillas are free from the top 8 allergens. This recipe contains dairy in the cream cheese, ghee, and Norr Skyr frosting.

Why These Ingredients Work So Well Together

Great recipes start with great ingredients — and every ingredient here reflects a shared commitment to simpler, better food.

PACHA Sprouted Buckwheat Tortillas lead with just three ingredients: organic sprouted buckwheat, organic psyllium husk, and sea salt. While most gluten-free tortillas rely on starches, gums, and preservatives, PACHA uses traditional sprouting and fermentation to create a tortilla that's soft, naturally flavorful, and easy to digest — with one of the shortest ingredient lists you'll find in the gluten-free space.

4th & Heart Ghee brings the same ingredient-first philosophy to the fat. Made from grass-fed, pasture-raised butter with the milk solids removed, it's 100% pure butterfat — naturally lactose-free, rich in Vitamin A, and versatile enough for baking at high heat without compromise.

Norr Icelandic Skyr transforms the frosting from an afterthought into something worth talking about. Slow-fermented with live and active cultures using milk from grass-fed cows, it delivers a thick, protein-rich base with a clean tang that balances the sweetness of the rolls perfectly. Real fermentation, real nutrition, nothing added.

And tying it all together: Vanilla Bean Project Pure Vanilla Extract — the first Regenerative Organic Certified® vanilla extract on the market, sourced from farms that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and farming communities. The same regenerative values that guide PACHA's sourcing show up here in every drop.

Four brands. One shared belief that simple, thoughtfully sourced ingredients make better food — and in this case, a better cinnamon roll.

Nutrition Highlight

Each PACHA Sprouted Buckwheat Tortilla contains 1.6g of protein and 1.2g of fiber at just 69 calories. The cream cheese filling adds an estimated 1–2g of protein per roll depending on the amount used, and Norr Icelandic Skyr contributes additional protein as a naturally high-protein base for the frosting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular flour tortillas instead of PACHA?

Yes, the recipe works with gluten-free, paleo, or regular flour tortillas. That said, PACHA's sprouted buckwheat tortillas bring a naturally rich flavor and a clean three-ingredient list that makes a noticeable difference — and the fermentation gives them a subtle depth that complements the cinnamon filling beautifully.

Do I have to use the wet towel method?

Yes — don't skip it. Warming the tortillas in a damp towel softens them just enough to roll without cracking. It only takes 45 seconds and makes the whole process much easier.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Absolutely. Swap in vegan cream cheese for the filling and a plant-based yogurt for the frosting. The rest of the ingredients are already dairy-free.

What is Icelandic Skyr?

Skyr is a traditional Nordic dairy product that's been part of Icelandic food culture for over a thousand years. It's made by fermenting milk with live cultures and straining it until thick — similar in texture to Greek yogurt but typically higher in protein with a slightly milder flavor.

Can I make the frosting ahead?

Yes. Mix and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Give it a quick stir before using.

What makes Vanilla Bean Project vanilla different?

It's the first Regenerative Organic Certified® pure vanilla extract on the market — sourced from farms that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and farming communities. It's also gluten free, vegan, kosher, and non-GMO.

How should I store PACHA tortillas?

Because PACHA tortillas are made without preservatives, keep them refrigerated and enjoy within 4 weeks. They're also freezer-friendly for up to 2 years — so keeping a pack on hand is always a good idea.
