Ingredients
Scale
For the 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
Main Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas (or corn tortillas for a gluten-free version)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed together to form a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Using a brush, generously apply the garlic butter mixture onto one side of each tortilla, ensuring an even coating for maximum flavor.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan (if using) evenly over the buttered side of each tortilla, covering the surface to create a cheesy layer.
- Air Fry the Tortillas: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the prepared tortillas in the air fryer basket. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cut the tortillas into halves or quarters to fit. Air fry for 4-5 minutes until the edges turn golden and crispy, and the cheese has melted perfectly.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cheesy garlic tortillas from the air fryer. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Slice into wedges and serve immediately for the best flavor and crispiness.
Notes
- You can use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
- Adjust garlic and seasoning quantities to your taste preference.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake these in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 6-8 minutes, or until crispy and cheese is melted.
- Use fresh herbs like parsley or basil for garnish to add flavor and color.
- For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
