How to Serve

The image shows five rolled crepes stacked closely on a white plate, each crepe coated with a layer of cinnamon sugar that sparkles under the light. The crepes have a golden-brown color with darker cinnamon swirls visible through the slightly translucent thin dough. The cinnamon sugar coating gives a grainy texture that contrasts with the smooth crepe surface. The crepes are arranged in a pyramidal shape with three rolls at the bottom and two on top, all resting on a small pool of syrup that adds a shiny gloss and slight dripping effect at the plate’s edges. The background is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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 the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat fully to ensure even cooking.
Mix cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Butter the tortillas: Using a brush, evenly spread the melted unsalted butter over each of the four small flour tortillas, ensuring full coverage for flavor and crispness.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar: Evenly distribute the cinnamon sugar mixture over each buttered tortilla, making sure each one is well coated.
Roll and cut: Tightly roll each tortilla into a cylinder, then carefully cut each roll into 1-inch wide pieces to form bite-sized rolls.
Arrange in air fryer: Place the tortilla rolls in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap to allow even cooking and crispiness.
Cook: Air fry the rolls for 5 to 7 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy, checking for doneness near the 5-minute mark.
Cool and serve: Let the cinnamon sugar tortilla rolls cool slightly after cooking to avoid burns and to enhance their crispy texture before serving.
