How to Make Tortilla Garlic Bread in the Air Fryer

Step 1: Butter the Tortillas

Spread softened butter generously over two flour tortillas, making sure to reach all the way to the edges. Butter makes everything better—don’t be shy here.

Step 2: Add Cheese & Seasoning

Top each tortilla with a generous layer of shredded cheese. Sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Mozzarella works great, but any shredded cheese will do.

Step 3: Stack & Air Fry

Stack the two cheese-loaded tortillas on top of each other and place them in a preheated 375°F air fryer. Air fry for about 5 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is melted, golden brown, and the edges are crisp.

Step 4: Rest & Slice

Let the garlic bread rest for a minute or two, then slice using a pizza cutter for easy serving.

Serving Ideas

  • Serve as a snack with marinara or ranch
  • Pair with salad, soup, or pasta

  • Turn it into party food by cutting into small squares

Tips & Variations

  • Use any cheese you love: cheddar, Monterey Jack, parmesan, or a blend
  • Add toppings like jalapeños, olives, pepperoni, bacon bits, or pesto
  • Keep leafy toppings under the cheese so they don’t fly around in the air fryer
  • For a lighter option, try low-carb or high-fiber tortillas
