Preheat your air fryer / oven before prepping the tortilla hot dogs. Get toothpicks to secure them ready, about 1-2 per hot dog.
Place flour tortillas on a cutting board. Sprinkle 1-2 tbsp of cheddar cheese in the center of the tortilla, leaving the outside 1” of the tortilla circle without cheese (to avoid cheese spillage).
Place a hot dog on the edge of the flour tortilla circle, and roll it up tightly, like a rug. Repeat until all are rolled up and secure each hot dog wrapped in a tortilla with 1-2 toothpicks stuck in the center.
Lightly brush each tortilla all over with olive oil.

Notes
If you’re cooking a big batch of hot dog tortillas for a party or crowd, bake them in the oven since you can make more at a time. In my Phillips XXL air fryer, I was able to bake 3 taquitos at a time. Perfect for a dinner for my small family (hungry husband and food critic toddler).See the recipe: https://sipbitego.com/hot-dog-tortilla See the recipe video for hot dog tortillas on YouTube.
