Main Ingredients
- 2 flour tortillas (8-inch size)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove fresh minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon Italian herbs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with garlic powder or minced fresh garlic, salt, and chopped parsley or preferred herbs. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated to create a flavorful garlic spread.
- Assemble the Tortilla: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the garlic butter mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla. Then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly on top, leaving about a 1/2 inch border along the edges to prevent cheese from leaking out during cooking.
- Fold or Roll the Tortilla: Carefully fold the tortilla in half over the cheese or roll it tightly, pressing gently along the fold or edge to seal the cheese filling inside.
- Air Fry to Perfection: Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C). Place the assembled tortilla in the air fryer basket. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until both sides are golden brown and crisp, and the cheese inside has melted thoroughly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cheesy tortilla garlic bread from the air fryer and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes to let the cheese set slightly. Slice as desired and serve warm for the best gooey and crispy experience.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the tortilla with cheese to prevent leaks and mess in the air fryer.
- Use softened butter for easier spreading and better garlic flavor infusion.
- Preheat your air fryer to ensure crispiness from the start.
- Flip the tortilla halfway through cooking for even browning on both sides.
- Optionally brush melted butter on the cooked bread for a shiny, rich finish.
