Ingredients
Scale
For the Tortilla Rolls
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly mixed. Set aside.
- Butter the Tortillas: Using a brush or the back of a spoon, spread the melted unsalted butter evenly over both sides of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over both sides of the buttered tortillas, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Roll and Slice Tortillas: Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape, then cut each log into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches wide.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry the Rolls: Place the tortilla roll pieces in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Shake the basket or turn the pieces halfway through cooking for even crisping.
- Serve Warm: Remove the rolls carefully from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a sweet snack or dessert.
Notes
- Use small tortillas for bite-sized rolls. Larger tortillas can be cut into smaller pieces but may require adjusting cooking times.
- Watch the rolls closely during air frying to prevent burning, as sugar can caramelize quickly.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute unsalted butter with a plant-based butter alternative.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh and warm for a crispy texture.
