Mistakes to Avoid
The potatoes and corn kernels are not fully cooked: If the potatoes and corn kernels are not fully cooked, the potatoes and corn inside the tortilla will still be raw after the tortilla is baked, which will affect the taste.
Imbalance in the proportion of ingredients: If too much flour is used, the tortilla will be too firm, dry and hard, and will lose the effect of being crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; if too much sugar is used, the tortilla will be too sweet and affect the overall flavor; if too few eggs are used, the ingredients may not stick together enough and the tortilla will easily fall apart.
Insufficient mixing: If the cooked potato grains, cooked corn kernels, eggs, flour, and sugar are not mixed evenly, the sugar will not melt in some parts of the dough and the flour will clump, resulting in an uneven taste and texture of the tortilla.
Failure to apply anti-stick treatment in the mold: If you neglect to apply anti-stick materials such as cooking oil in the mold, the tortilla may stick to the mold after baking, making it difficult to remove from the mold, and may even destroy the shape of the tortilla.
Uneven spreading of batter: If the batter is not evenly spread in the former, the thickness of the tortillas will be inconsistent. When placed in the air fryer for baking, uneven heating will occur. The thin parts may be burnt, and the thick parts may not be cooked through.
Too much or too little black sesame seeds: Too much black sesame seeds will mask the flavor of the tortilla itself, and may also burn and produce a bitter taste; too little black sesame seeds will not serve as a decoration or add aroma.
The air fryer is not preheated: If you put the tortillas directly into the air fryer without preheating it, the tortillas will not be able to take shape quickly, causing them to deform during the baking process, and affecting their crispy outside and tender inside taste.
Wrong baking temperature and time: If the temperature is too high or the baking time is too long, the tortilla will easily burn; if the temperature is too low or the baking time is too short, the tortilla may not be baked well and will become sticky inside.
