Ingredients
Scale
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Tortillas and Cheese
- 2 large flour tortillas (or corn tortillas for a gluten-free version)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Using a brush, generously coat one side of each tortilla with the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese (if using) evenly over the buttered side of each tortilla, creating a cheesy layer.
- Air Fry the Tortillas: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the tortillas inside the air fryer basket. Depending on your air fryer size, you might need to cut the tortillas into halves or quarters to fit properly. Air fry for 4 to 5 minutes until the edges turn golden and crispy and the cheese melts beautifully.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cheesy garlic tortillas from the air fryer. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Slice into wedges and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Adjust garlic quantity according to your personal taste preference.
- Cut tortillas to fit the air fryer basket if needed to ensure even cooking.
- You can substitute mozzarella with any melting cheese like cheddar or Monterey Jack.
- For extra crispiness, cook an additional 1-2 minutes but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Serve as a snack, appetizer, or side dish with soups and salads.
