How to Make Air Fryer Cheesy Tortilla Garlic Bread
Ingredients
- 2 flour tortillas ((any size that fits in your air fryer))
- softened butter
- shredded mozzarella cheese
- sprinkle of garlic powder
- Italian seasoning
Directions
- Use a butter knife to spread softened butter over TWO flour tortillas, covering them all the way to the edge. I use soft taco size tortillas with about one tablespoon of butter for each.
- Load each buttered tortilla with a generous amount of shredded cheese and then sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
- Stack the two cheese loaded tortillas on top of each other, and place in a preheated 375° air fryer for approximately 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it! Pull it out as soon as the cheese turns a deep golden brown color with crispy edges.
- Allow it to cool for a minute or two and then slice with a pizza cutter into individual servings.
