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) and allow it to preheat, ensuring the rolls will cook evenly and become perfectly crispy.
- Mix cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon until evenly mixed for that classic sweet and spicy flavor.
- Prepare the tortillas: Using a pastry brush, spread the melted butter evenly over each flour tortilla to help the cinnamon sugar stick and add richness.
- Add cinnamon sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over each buttered tortilla, covering the surface thoroughly.
- Roll and cut: Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape, then cut each roll into 1-inch wide pieces, creating bite-sized rolls.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the cinnamon sugar tortilla rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Air fry until golden: Cook the rolls for 5-7 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Cool and serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth and to let the texture set perfectly.
Notes
- You can adjust the sugar and cinnamon ratio to your taste preference for more or less sweetness.
- Make sure to place the rolls in a single layer; overcrowding the air fryer basket will result in uneven cooking.
- These rolls taste best when served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative.
- Add a drizzle of honey or a dusting of powdered sugar after cooking for extra sweetness.
