Ingredients
- 4 small flour tortillas (6-inch), fresh and pliable
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Mix the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined, resembling a warm, golden beach sand texture.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out the flour tortillas flat and brush each one evenly with melted unsalted butter using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly and generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over each buttered tortilla, making sure to cover the surface.
- Roll and Cut: Roll each tortilla tightly like a sleeping bag, then use a sharp knife to cut the rolls into 1-inch pieces, creating mini cinnamon scrolls. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
- Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the cinnamon sugar tortilla rolls in a single layer inside the basket. Cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket gently halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping. They should turn golden and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool for a couple of minutes after air frying to allow them to crisp up even more, then enjoy warm.
Notes
- Use fresh, pliable flour tortillas to prevent cracking and achieve the perfect crisp.
- Adjust the cinnamon sugar ratio to your preferred taste for more or less spice.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes to restore crispness; avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and crisping.
