Air Fryer Cheesy Tortilla Garlic Bread Recipe

Introduction

Air Fryer Cheesy Tortilla Garlic Bread is a quick and delicious twist on a classic favorite. Crispy tortillas loaded with gooey cheese and rich garlic butter make for a perfect snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to create the garlic butter spread.
2. Step 2: Brush one side of each tortilla generously with the garlic butter mixture.
3. Step 3: Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered side of two tortillas, then place the remaining tortillas on top, butter side down, to form sandwiches.
4. Step 4: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes. Place the tortilla sandwiches in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap.
5. Step 5: Air fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted completely.
6. Step 6: Carefully remove from the air fryer, cut into wedges, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
• Try swapping mozzarella for cheddar or pepper jack for a different cheesy taste.
• If you prefer a softer texture, reduce air frying time by a minute or two.
• Add chopped fresh herbs like basil or cilantro before serving for a fresh touch.

Storage

Store any leftover cheesy garlic tortilla bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes to regain crispiness before serving.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?

Flour tortillas work best for this recipe because they become crispy and hold the cheese well, but you can try corn tortillas for a different texture. Just be aware they may be less pliable and crispier.

Can I make this recipe without an air fryer?

Yes, you can bake the sandwiches in a conventional oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes or until golden and the cheese melts. Using a skillet on medium heat is another option by cooking each side until crisp.

Garlic Butter Mixture

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Cheese & Tortillas

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Prepare the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and dried parsley thoroughly to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
2. Brush tortillas: Lay out the four large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Using a brush or spoon, evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over one side of each tortilla, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
3. Add cheese layers: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the garlic-buttered side of each tortilla, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese for an extra cheesy topping.
4. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispy results.
5. Air fry the tortillas: Place one or two tortillas, depending on the size of your air fryer basket, into the air fryer basket. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the edges are crispy and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
6. Cool and serve: Remove the tortillas carefully using tongs and let them cool for a minute to firm up. Cut into wedges and serve warm as a delicious cheesy garlic bread alternative.

Notes

• For extra crispiness, you can flip the tortillas halfway through air frying.
• Customize the cheese blend by adding cheddar or Monterey Jack for different flavors.
• Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
