Air Fryer Tortilla Garlic Bread

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 flour tortilla shells

1 tablespoon butter, softened

½ cup grated mozzarella cheese

Garlic powder, to taste

Italian seasoning, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

I lay both tortillas on a clean work surface and spread the softened butter evenly over each one, making sure to reach the edges.

I sprinkle the grated mozzarella, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning evenly over one tortilla.

I place the second tortilla on top to create a sandwich.

I preheat my air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

I carefully place the tortilla stack into the air fryer basket in a single layer.

I air fry it for 4 to 6 minutes until the tortillas become golden brown, crispy, and the cheese has fully melted.

I carefully remove it from the air fryer and garnish it with fresh chopped parsley if I want extra freshness.

I slice it into wedges and serve it immediately while it's warm and crispy. I enjoy pairing it with marinara sauce, salsa, or my favorite dip.

Variations

I like using cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend of Italian cheeses instead of mozzarella.

I sometimes add minced fresh garlic for an even bolder garlic flavor.

I enjoy sprinkling grated Parmesan over the top before air frying for extra crispness.

I occasionally add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

I also like adding pepperoni or sliced jalapeños for a heartier version.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

When I'm ready to enjoy them again, I reheat the tortilla garlic bread in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2 to 3 minutes until it's crispy again. I avoid using the microwave because it softens the tortilla and reduces the crisp texture.

FAQs

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?

I can, but I find that flour tortillas become crispier and hold the melted cheese together much better.

What cheese works best for this recipe?

I prefer mozzarella because it melts beautifully, but I also enjoy cheddar, Monterey Jack, Parmesan, or a combination of cheeses.

Can I make this without butter?

I can substitute butter with olive oil if I want a slightly lighter version while still achieving a crispy finish.

What dips pair well with tortilla garlic bread?

I enjoy serving it with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, garlic aioli, salsa, or even a creamy spinach dip.

Can I prepare it ahead of time?

I like assembling the tortilla stack a few hours ahead and keeping it refrigerated. When I'm ready to eat, I simply air fry it for the freshest and crispiest results.
