Description

A quick and delicious Air Fryer Cheesy Tortilla Garlic Bread recipe that turns simple flour tortillas into crispy, golden garlic bread wedges loaded with melted mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Perfect as an easy appetizer, snack, or party treat, ready in just 11 minutes.


Ingredients

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Tortilla Stacks

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Optional Garnishes and Dips

  • Chopped parsley or basil for garnish (optional)
  • Marinara or ranch for dipping (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with minced garlic and Italian seasoning, mixing thoroughly to create a garlicky spread.
  2. Spread Garlic Butter: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over one side of each of the four flour tortillas, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
  3. Assemble Tortilla Stacks: On two of the tortillas, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered side. Place the remaining two tortillas on top of these cheese-topped ones, buttered side facing out, forming two quesadilla-like stacks.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2 to 3 minutes to ensure even cooking and optimal crispness.
  5. Air Fry: Place one stacked tortilla round in the air fryer basket and air fry for 4 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. Cook until both sides are golden brown, crispy, and the cheese has melted.
  6. Cool and Slice: Remove the cooked tortilla stack from the basket and allow it to cool slightly before cutting it into 8 wedges for easy serving.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish the wedges with chopped parsley or basil and serve warm with marinara or ranch dipping sauce for added flavor.

Notes

  • Feel free to add extra toppings such as red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
  • You can substitute mozzarella and Parmesan with other cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for different flavors.
  • This cheesy garlic bread makes a perfect side dish, snack, or party appetizer.
