Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 small flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create an even cinnamon sugar mix.
  2. Brush tortillas with butter: Using a pastry brush, evenly coat one side of each flour tortilla with the melted unsalted butter. This helps the cinnamon sugar adhere and creates a golden crisp texture.
  3. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered side of each tortilla ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
  4. Roll the tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla into a tight log shape, keeping the cinnamon sugar inside to prevent burning and promote a chewy inside with a crispy outside.
  5. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  6. Air fry the rolls: Place the cinnamon sugar tortilla rolls seam-side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes or until they become golden and crispy. Flip halfway through cooking if your air fryer requires it for even browning.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Remove the rolls carefully from the air fryer and let them cool briefly before serving warm. These can be enjoyed on their own or with a drizzle of honey, cream, or dipping sauce of your choice.

Notes

  • Use small tortillas for perfect rolling and crispiness.
  • Adjust the cinnamon sugar ratio to your preferred sweetness.
  • For added flair, try sprinkling powdered sugar or dipping in vanilla glaze.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat in the air fryer to restore crispiness.
