Ingredients

  • 2 flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened (or olive oil for a lighter option)
  • ½ cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (or fresh garlic, minced)
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tortillas: Lay the tortillas on a clean surface. Spread the softened butter evenly over each tortilla, reaching the edges.
  2. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning over the buttered tortillas. Stack one tortilla on top of the other.
  3. Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the tortilla stack in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 4–6 minutes, checking frequently. The tortillas should be golden brown and crispy.
  4. Serve: Carefully remove from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately. Pair with marinara sauce, salsa, or your favorite dip.

Storage & Reheating

  • Cool Completely: Let the garlic bread cool before storing.
  • Storage: Wrap individual pieces in foil or store in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2–3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 1–2 minutes until warmed and crispy.

Tips & Variations

  • Cheesy Upgrade: Add Parmesan or cheddar when flipping the tortillas for extra flavor.
  • Spice It Up: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or smoked paprika for a little heat.
  • Alternative Tortillas: Corn tortillas can be used but will have a slightly different texture.
  • Vegan Option: Substitute vegan butter and vegan cheese to make it plant-based.
