Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–4 soft, flexible flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (blend of mozzarella and cheddar)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with finely minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
  2. Assemble the Tortillas: Lay the tortillas flat and brush a generous layer of the garlic butter on one side of each tortilla. Evenly sprinkle shredded cheese and chopped fresh herbs over one tortilla, then top with another tortilla to form a sandwich.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure it’s hot and ready to crisp the tortillas.
  4. Air Fry the Tortilla Bread: Place the assembled tortilla sandwiches in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. The outside should become golden brown and the cheese melted and bubbly inside.
  5. Cool and Slice: Remove the tortilla bread from the air fryer and let it cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice into wedges or strips for easy serving and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder for better flavor.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even crisping.
  • Blend mozzarella and cheddar cheese for a perfect balance of meltiness and sharp flavor.
  • Watch cooking times closely as air fryer models vary; prevent burning by checking early.
  • If cheese isn’t fully melted, finish with a low temp air fry or a short microwave zap.
