Ingredients

Scale

Garlic Butter Spread

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley or dried Italian herbs
  • Salt to taste

Main Ingredients

  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, herbs, and a pinch of salt to form a fragrant garlic butter spread.
  2. Brush Tortillas: Lay the tortillas flat and brush one side of each generously with the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor.
  3. Add Cheese and Fold: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over half of each tortilla then fold them in half to create a semicircle shape, enclosing the cheese inside.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2 to 3 minutes to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
  5. Arrange and Cook: Place the folded tortillas in a single layer into the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary to allow proper air circulation.
  6. Air Fry: Cook the tortillas for 5 to 7 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. This helps achieve a golden brown, crispy exterior and fully melted cheese inside.
  7. Serve: Carefully remove the garlic breads from the air fryer, let them cool slightly, then slice into wedges and serve warm for a delicious snack or side.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping on both sides.
  • Use fresh garlic for a more intense garlic flavor compared to garlic powder alone.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with a blend of cheeses like cheddar or provolone for different flavors.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes into the garlic butter mixture.
  • If you prefer gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas instead of regular flour tortillas.
