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. Mix well to create an even cinnamon sugar blend.
  2. Brush tortillas with butter: Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each flour tortilla evenly with the melted unsalted butter on one side.
  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: Starting from one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla into a log shape, keeping the cinnamon sugar side inside.
  5. Preheat air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure an even cooking temperature.
  6. Air fry the rolls: Place the rolled tortillas seam side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch to allow for proper airflow. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crisp, turning halfway through if needed for even cooking.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the cinnamon sugar tortilla rolls from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm as a delightful snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure the cinnamon sugar is evenly distributed to avoid overly sweet spots.
  • Use small tortillas for snack-sized rolls; larger tortillas can be cut into smaller pieces.
  • For extra richness, you can add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the air fryer for crispiness.
