Golden, crunchy and filled with creamy crab, these Crispy Crab Tortilla Triangles from the Air Fryer are the snack everyone reaches for first. A quick breadcrumb coating gives them a satisfying crunch without deep-frying. If you like tortilla snacks, try our Tortilla Pizza and the Quesadilla with Sun-Dried Tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 3 tortillas
- 200 g (7 oz) imitation crab sticks
- 1 tomato
- 70 g (2.5 oz) cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 2 eggs
- Breadcrumbs, for coating
Instructions
- Shred the crab sticks into fibers with a fork.
- Dice the tomato finely and grate the cheese.
- Combine everything and add the cream cheese.
- Cut the tortillas in half, spoon the filling into the center of each half and brush the edges with beaten egg.
- Fold into triangles, dip in the beaten egg mixture and roll in breadcrumbs.
- Air-fry at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes.
Tips
- Seal the edges well with egg so the filling stays inside while air-frying.
- Do not crowd the air fryer basket, so hot air can crisp every triangle evenly.
- Serve right away for the best crunch, with your favorite dip. For air-fryer guidance, see seriouseats.com.
