Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 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. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to warm up while you prepare the tortillas.
  2. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
  3. Brush Tortillas: Evenly brush the garlic butter mixture over one side of each flour tortilla, ensuring each one is well coated for maximum flavor.
  4. Add Cheeses: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered side of the tortillas, covering the surface.
  5. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the tortillas cheese side up in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overlap.
  6. Air Fry: Cook the tortillas for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts completely, becomes bubbly, and the edges turn golden brown and crisp.
  7. Garnish: Carefully remove the cheesy tortillas from the air fryer and sprinkle with dried parsley for a fresh herbal finish.
  8. Serve: Cut each tortilla into wedges and serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

  • If your air fryer basket is small, cook tortillas in batches for even crisping.
  • For extra garlic flavor, add a little garlic salt instead of regular salt but reduce overall salt to avoid oversalting.
  • Use low-moisture mozzarella for better melting results.
  • You can add red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning for a spicier or herbier twist.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
