Scale
Ingredients
- 4 small flour tortillas (6-inch)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly until well blended.
- Brush tortillas with butter: Using a pastry brush, evenly coat both sides of each tortilla with melted unsalted butter to ensure they crisp up nicely.
- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over one side of each buttered tortilla, ensuring an even layer for maximum flavor.
- Roll the tortillas: Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a cylinder shape so the cinnamon sugar is enclosed inside.
- Preheat air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air fry the rolls: Place the rolled tortillas seam side down into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve warm: Remove the cinnamon sugar tortilla rolls carefully from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use small 6-inch tortillas for perfectly sized rolls that cook evenly.
- Adjust cinnamon and sugar quantities to your taste preference.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute melted butter with coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative.
- Keep an eye on the rolls during air frying to avoid burning, as sugar can caramelize quickly.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated briefly in the air fryer.
