Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 flour tortillas (soft yet sturdy)
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or fresh parsley)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or Mexican blend)
  • Fresh parsley or additional Italian seasoning for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the garlic butter mixture: Melt the butter in a small bowl and stir in finely minced garlic or garlic powder along with the Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt. This aromatic mixture will coat the tortillas to infuse them with that signature garlic bread flavor.
  2. Butter the tortillas: Using a brush or spoon, generously spread the garlic butter evenly over one side of each tortilla. The butter does the heavy lifting for flavor and crisping, so don’t be shy.
  3. Add the cheese topping: Sprinkle a hearty layer of shredded cheese evenly over the buttered side. Make sure it’s spread edge to edge for maximum cheesy coverage.
  4. Air fry to perfection: Place the prepared tortillas in your air fryer basket—work in batches if needed—and cook at 360°F (182°C) for 5 to 7 minutes. The tortillas should be crispy and golden while the cheese is bubbling and melted.
  5. Garnish and serve: Once out of the air fryer, sprinkle fresh parsley or additional herbs on top for a bright finish. Cut into wedges and serve immediately while warm and melty.

Notes

  • Ensure the shredded cheese is spread evenly to avoid some spots getting too crispy or burnt.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer; air fry in a single layer with space between tortillas for the best crisp texture.
  • Cooking time may vary by air fryer model; watch closely to avoid over-browning.
  • Fresh minced garlic offers a stronger, more vibrant flavor than garlic powder.
  • For an even crispier texture, mix butter with a little olive oil before brushing on tortillas.
