# Instructions:
01 -
Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles, until no pink remains. Drain excess fat.

Divide the filling between the tortillas and spread it almost to the edges. Sprinkle cheddar over the filling.

Roll each tortilla tightly. Trim the ends, then cut each roll into 5 even pinwheels with a serrated knife.

Place the pinwheels cut side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 370°F for 5-6 minutes until hot and lightly crisp.
