Ingredients
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to warm up while you prepare the rolls, ensuring even cooking and crispy texture.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Brush Tortillas with Butter: Using a pastry brush, evenly spread melted unsalted butter over each tortilla to help the cinnamon sugar stick and add rich flavor.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered tortillas, covering them evenly for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Roll and Slice: Tightly roll each tortilla into a cylinder and cut into 1-inch pieces to create bite-sized rolls.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the tortilla rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure they cook evenly and become crisp.
- Cook: Air fry the rolls for 5 to 7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy outside while remaining soft inside.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the air fryer, let cool slightly to avoid burning, and serve warm for a delightful cinnamon sugar treat.
Notes
- Ensure tortillas are small for best rolling and cooking results.
- Use melted unsalted butter to control saltiness and ensure smooth coating.
- Cooking time may vary slightly depending on air fryer model; watch closely to avoid burning.
- Serve immediately for optimal crispiness, but leftovers can be refrigerated and lightly reheated.
- For a sweeter treat, drizzle with honey or maple syrup after cooking if desired.
