Ingredients
- 2 flour tortilla shells
- 1 tbsp butter, softened
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Italian seasoning, to taste
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the tortillas: Lay out the two flour tortillas on a clean flat surface. Using a spoon or butter knife, spread a generous and even layer of softened butter over the entire surface of each tortilla, making sure to cover the edges well for maximum flavor.
- Add toppings and stack: Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly over one buttered tortilla. Then sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the cheese to your preferred intensity. Place the second buttered tortilla on top, pressing lightly to hold them together.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat fully. This ensures the tortillas cook evenly and become crispy.
- Cook the garlic bread: Place the stacked tortillas in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap. Air fry for 4 to 6 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. The tortillas should turn golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish and serve: Once crispy and golden, carefully remove the tortilla garlic bread from the air fryer. Optionally sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for added freshness and color. Serve immediately while warm, perfect as a snack or accompaniment to pasta, soups, or salads. Pair with marinara, salsa, or your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
Notes
- Use softened butter for easier spreading and even coverage.
- Adjust garlic powder and Italian seasoning amounts to taste for desired flavor intensity.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model; watch closely to avoid burning.
- For a crispier texture, you can add a little grated Parmesan cheese on top before air frying.
- Serve immediately for best texture—tortilla garlic bread can become soggy if left to sit too long.
