Ingredients
Scale
Tortilla and Butter Mixture
- 4 flour tortillas (soft and pliable)
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove fresh garlic (minced)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Cheese and Herbs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped) or 1 teaspoon dried herbs (parsley, basil, oregano, or thyme)
Instructions
- Prepare the garlic butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter or olive oil with garlic powder (or fresh garlic), salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful garlic butter that will coat the tortillas evenly.
- Coat the tortillas: Use a brush or spoon to spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on one side of each tortilla, ensuring full coverage for maximum crispy and flavorful bites.
- Add the cheese: Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the garlic buttered side of the tortilla, spreading it evenly for uniform melting.
- Fold or top: For easier handling, fold the tortilla in half so the cheese is sandwiched inside, or leave it flat for a crispier cheesy slice. Both methods work well in the air fryer.
- Air fry to perfection: Place the prepared tortillas carefully in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 370°F (188°C) for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are crisp and golden.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the air fryer and sprinkle with fresh parsley or your choice of herbs. Slice into wedges and serve warm to enjoy the gooey, crunchy texture.
Notes
- Use either butter or olive oil depending on your preference for flavor and health.
- Folding the tortilla creates a melty, sandwich-like snack; leaving it flat yields a crispy, pizza-like slice.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs to customize the flavor.
- Ensure tortillas are soft and pliable to avoid cracking during folding.
- Watch the air fryer closely near the end to prevent burning.
