the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
Stir. Stirring means moving food around with a spoon or spatula so it cooks evenly and doesn’t stick. Unless the recipe says constantly, every so often is plenty, and it gives food time to brown.
How you’ll know: When you drag the spoon across the bottom, nothing is sticking or scorching.
Rub both sides of each tortilla with the oil, using your fingers.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over both sides, then cut each tortilla into 8 wedges like a pizza.
Dolly’s tip: The oil is what holds the sugar on, so don’t skip it.Lay the wedges in the air fryer basket in one layer, working in batches if they don’t all fit.
Air fry at 350°F for 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway, until and .
Golden brown. Golden brown is the color of good toast, somewhere between yellow and light brown. It means the outside is cooked and crisp but not burnt.
How you’ll know: It looks like toast and smells toasty; dark brown with a bitter smell means it went too far.
Crispy. Crispy means the outside is dry, firm and crunchy. It comes from high heat, a little oil and room in the pan, because crowded food steams and goes soft.
How you’ll know: It sounds crunchy when you tap or bite it, and it doesn’t flop when you lift it.

Dolly’s tip: They crisp more as they cool, so pull them when they’re golden even if they still bend a little.Let them cool for 2 minutes, then eat them warm.
