Small pinwheels of ground beef rolled in a tortilla and cooked from raw in the air fryer, where circulating heat crisps the wrap while the thin layer of meat cooks through in 15 minutes at 180°C (350°F). A brush of mayonnaise and soy sauce on the tortilla does real work here, carrying salt and umami into the wrap and giving the surface enough fat to brown well. Slice the roll into 3–4 cm (1½ in) pieces so the beef cooks evenly, and check the centres show no pink before scattering over the mozzarella for a final few minutes. Leftovers reheat well in the air fryer and stay crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the raw beef cook through in the rolls?
Yes — spread thin and sliced into small rounds, the beef cooks fully in about 15 minutes at 180°C. Check the centres are no longer pink before adding cheese.
What does the mayo-soy brush do?
It seasons the tortilla, adds savoury umami, and helps it brown and crisp as it air-fries instead of drying out.
Can I make them ahead?
Roll and slice ahead and refrigerate, then air-fry fresh. They reheat well in the air fryer too, which keeps the edges crisp.
