Crafting Comfort in Every Bite:
- Kickstart your tostada adventure by selecting the “air fryer” function and adjusting the temperature to a toasty 390 degrees F. With a press of the “Start” key, your air fryer begins its journey towards creating the ultimate cinnamon tostada experience.
- As your air fryer warms up, prepare the star of the show—your whole-wheat tortillas. Carefully cut them into triangles, a simple step that sets the stage for the flavorful transformation that’s about to unfold.
- In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. This aromatic mixture is the key to infusing your tostadas with that signature cinnamon sweetness that tantalizes the senses.
- To lend a touch of buttery goodness, spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter on the tortilla triangles. This not only imparts a rich flavor but also ensures a beautifully golden, crispy finish.
Creating the Flavorful Symphony:
- It’s time to orchestrate the tostada magic. Toss the tortilla chunks with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture, coating them generously in this fragrant blend that promises warmth and sweetness.
- As your air fryer beckons for its culinary masterpiece, place the French toast triangles on the air fryer oven pan with a sense of anticipation. The “Add Food” signal marks the moment to introduce your tostadas to the realm of sizzling perfection.
- Allow your Classic Cinnamon Tostadas to bake in the preheated air fryer for approximately 8 minutes. To ensure an even crisping, give them a gentle flip halfway through the cooking time, allowing both sides to bask in the toasty delight.
Savoring the Moment:
- With the aroma of cinnamon and butter filling the air, your tostadas emerge from the air fryer transformed into golden treasures of flavor. These irresistible treats are now ready to be savored, whether you’re looking for a morning indulgence or a dessert that wraps you in a warm embrace.
