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 the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of softened butter evenly over each tortilla, ensuring to cover all the way to the edges for full flavor.
- Add Cheese and Seasoning: Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese evenly over one buttered tortilla. Then sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning on top of the cheese. Place the second buttered tortilla on top, creating a sandwich.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Air Fry the Garlic Bread: Place the tortilla sandwich carefully into the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlap. Air fry for 4-6 minutes, watching closely for the tortillas to turn golden brown and crispy.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the garlic bread from the air fryer when crisp and golden. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for added color and freshness. Serve immediately while warm, alongside pasta, soups, salads, or as a snack, optionally with your favorite dipping sauce like marinara or salsa.
Notes
- Keep an eye on the garlic bread while air frying as cooking times may slightly vary between air fryer models.
- Use softened butter for easier spreading and better flavor absorption.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes before air frying.
- You can swap mozzarella with other melting cheeses like cheddar or provolone for different flavors.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture; leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer for a short time to restore crispiness.
