7 Brilliant Tortilla Recipes in the Air Fryer

One pack of tortillas and an air fryer will carry you from Monday dinner to Sunday dessert, and this set proves it. We cooked and filmed all seven of these recipes in a single video, and the thread running through them is shape: every dish here folds, rolls, layers or cups a flat tortilla into something new, then lets the air fryer crisp it up without a pan of oil.

The lineup runs roughly from dinner to snack. A shredded tortilla pie and beef pockets anchor the savoury end, tuna egg cups and a cream cheese bagel cover breakfast and lunch, and pizza cones, a tortilla croissant and sweet spring rolls round out the hand-held treats. If you want a sensible starting point, begin with the shredded pie. It asks the least of your folding skills and shows you how tortillas behave in the air fryer before you move on to the shaped recipes.

These also suit different crowds. The cones and spring rolls are good projects to make with grandchildren, while the pockets and pie hold up as proper weeknight food.

The gentlest entry in the set. No folding or shaping to learn, so start here if the cones and croissants look fiddly. It behaves like a casserole, not a wrap.

The heartiest of the seven and the one to pick when you need actual dinner rather than a snack. Beef gives it more heft than anything else in the lineup.

The only dish here shaped in cups rather than folded flat, which makes it the tidiest to portion. A natural choice for breakfast or a packed lunch.

Fills the bread-shaped gap in the set. When you want something that eats like a bagel without buying bagels, this is the round to reach for mid-morning.

The showpiece of the group and the one children ask for by name. Pick this when the point is fun at the table, not speed in the kitchen.

One of the quickest segments in the video and the least fuss of the shaped recipes. A rolled ham-and-cheese crescent that fills the afternoon-snack slot in this lineup.

The lone sweet finish among six savoury dishes. Peanut butter and banana make it the dessert of the set, so save it for last, just as the video does.
