Ingredients
- 2 flour tortillas (any size that fits in your air fryer)
- Softened butter
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Sprinkle of garlic powder

Instructions
- Step 1: Use a butter knife to spread softened butter evenly over both flour tortillas, covering them all the way to the edge. For soft taco size tortillas, about one tablespoon of butter per tortilla works well.

- Step 5: Allow the cheesy tortilla garlic bread to cool for a minute or two, then slice with a pizza cutter into individual servings and enjoy.
Tips & Variations

FAQs
Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?
Flour tortillas work best due to their flexible texture that crisps nicely in the air fryer. Corn tortillas may become too brittle or break apart.
What other seasonings can I add?
You can experiment with herbs like basil or oregano, or add a little smoked paprika or onion powder for different flavor profiles.
