Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine blueberries, softened cream cheese, sugar, and cinnamon. Gently mash until mixed but still chunky.
- Place a tortilla on a flat surface; spoon about two tablespoons of the filling into the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
