Description

Enjoy a quick and delicious homemade version of Taco Bell’s famous Cinnamon Twists made effortlessly in the air fryer. These puffed Mexican wheat snacks are coated in a sweet cinnamon sugar mix, perfect for a crunchy and flavorful treat in just minutes.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 oz (56 g) Duros (Mexican Wheat Twists)
  • Cooking Spray
  • 100 g Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Duros: Add the 2 oz of Mexican wheat twists (Duros) directly into your air fryer basket. There is no need to preheat the air fryer for this recipe.
  2. Air Fry the Duros: Set the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and cook the Duros for 4 minutes until they puff up and become crispy.
  3. Mix Cinnamon Sugar Coating: While the Duros are cooking, prepare the coating by combining 100 grams of sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a large bowl. Mix well to ensure even flavor.
  4. Apply Cooking Spray: Once the Duros have finished air frying and are puffed, generously spray them with cooking spray. This helps the cinnamon sugar coating adhere evenly to the twists.
  5. Coat the Twists: Transfer a few of the air-fried Duros into the cinnamon sugar mixture and toss to fully coat. Then place them on your serving dish. Repeat until all the twists are coated.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for a crunchy, sweet snack that tastes just like Taco Bell’s classic cinnamon twists.

Notes

  • You can substitute regular sugar with a sugar substitute to reduce calories or accommodate dietary restrictions.
  • If you prefer stronger cinnamon flavor, feel free to adjust the cinnamon quantity to taste.
  • Using cooking spray is essential to help the sugar and cinnamon stick to the twists. Don’t skip this step.
  • These twists are best enjoyed fresh and crispy right after air frying and coating.
