# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're ready in under 20 minutes from start to finish, perfect for when cravings hit hard.
  • The air fryer does most of the work while you clean up or relax.
  • Everyone loves them, whether you're feeding kids, guests, or just yourself.
02 -
  • The flip is non-negotiable; skip it and one side stays pale while the other burns.
  • Don't overcrowd the basket or they'll steam instead of crisp, which I learned the hard way.
  • They continue crisping as they cool, so pull them out when they look almost done.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter instead of a knife for faster, cleaner cuts that don't squeeze the tortilla as much.
  • If your cinnamon sugar won't stick evenly, you probably need more melted butter on those tortillas.
