Main Ingredients
- 2 Tortillas
- Walnuts, a suitable amount (approx. 10-15 halves)
- 1 Egg white (for sealing and brushing)
For Serving
- Your favorite jam (e.g., strawberry, blueberry) or honey, syrup
- Your favorite jam (e.g., strawberry, blueberry) or honey, syrup
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut each of the 2 tortillas into 4 equal wedges, resulting in 8 pieces total. Next, lightly chop the walnuts, about 1-2 times, so they are bite-sized. Avoid chopping them too finely, as this can diminish the texture.
Step 2
Take one tortilla wedge and start rolling it up tightly from one end. Leave about a 1 cm gap from the edge as you roll to ensure it forms a nice spiral. If the tortilla tends to unroll, lightly brush the edge with a little egg white to help it stick and hold its shape.
Step 3
Dip the chopped walnuts into a bit of jam or honey. Then, carefully insert the jam-coated walnuts into the center of the rolled tortilla. Gently press down to secure them inside the roll.
Step 4
Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the outside of each rolled tortilla with the remaining egg white. This step is crucial for achieving a beautiful golden-brown color and a satisfying crispiness when air-fried.
Step 5
Arrange the prepared walnut tortilla rolls in a single layer in your air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes. This initial cooking time helps to set the rolls.
Step 6
After 5 minutes, carefully remove the rolls from the air fryer and check their color. Once the top side is lightly golden, flip each roll over to the other side. Return them to the air fryer and cook for another 5 minutes at 180°C (350°F). The total cooking time will be around 10 minutes.
Step 7
Voilà! Your crispy and chewy walnut tortilla rolls are ready. Serve them warm. They are delicious dipped in honey, syrup, or your favorite jam. Enjoy this easy and delightful dessert with your family and friends!
