# Expert tips:

01 -
  • They're ready in under 20 minutes, which means you can satisfy a sudden sweet craving without heating up your oven.
  • Your air fryer does the heavy lifting while you relax, and the result is crispier than any oven-baked version I've tried.
  • One batch disappears faster than you'd expect, making this the perfect confidence booster for anyone nervous about cooking.
02 -
  • Don't skip the flip halfway through—one side will crisp up beautifully while the other stays soft if you don't, and that's not the texture you want here.
  • Every air fryer runs a little differently, so start checking at 5 minutes instead of waiting the full 7, because burnt cinnamon sugar is a regret you'll taste immediately.
03 -
  • Brown your butter in a small saucepan for 2 minutes before brushing it on the tortillas for a deeper, nuttier flavor that elevates the whole experience.
  • Mix a tiny pinch of vanilla extract into your cinnamon sugar mixture if you want something that tastes like a bakery made it.
