Introduction

These 12 Minute Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Rolls are a quick and delightful treat perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. Crispy on the outside and packed with cinnamon sugar goodness, they make an easy dessert or snack.

Four cinnamon rolls are arranged on a white plate, each shaped like a rose with tightly coiled layers of golden-brown, sticky dough sprinkled with coarse sugar crystals that glisten in the light. The rolls have a shiny caramelized surface from the cinnamon sugar, with darker brown spots showing where the sugar has melted and crisped. The dough layers are visible at the base, showing a soft and fluffy interior with a light beige color. The plate rests on a white marbled background with soft natural light highlighting the texture and shine on the rolls. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

How to Serve

There are four cinnamon rolls placed closely together on a white plate. Each cinnamon roll is shaped like a rose with multiple layers of golden-brown baked dough that has a slightly crispy texture on the edges and soft swirled layers in the center. The tops are sprinkled with coarse sugar crystals that catch the light, adding sparkle and texture. The cinnamon swirls between the layers give a rich reddish-brown color, contrasting with the lighter dough. The plate sits on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
