Trust me, this is the ultimate comfort food that’s perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients You’ll Need

To whip up this cheesy goodness, gather the following ingredients:

  • 2 flour tortillas (any size that fits in your air fryer)
  • Softened butter (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese (1-2 cups, depending on how cheesy you like it)
  • Sprinkle of garlic powder (1 teaspoon, or more if you’re a garlic lover)
  • Italian seasoning (1 teaspoon, gives it that Italian flair)
  • A couple pinches of salt and pepper (optional, but why not?)

Feel free to get creative! For example, you can switch out mozzarella for cheddar or pepper jack, or even toss on some chopped veggies like bell peppers or spinach. The best part is you can use whatever you’ve got on hand!

Let’s Get Cooking!

How to Make Air Fryer Cheesy Tortilla Garlic Bread

  1. Start by spreading softened butter evenly over both tortillas. I like to use about one tablespoon of butter for each tortilla, spreading it all the way to the edges.

  2. Next, load those buttered beauties with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese. I mean, really pile it on, who doesn’t love ooey-gooey cheese, right?

  3. Sprinkle on a little garlic powder and Italian seasoning. This is where your tortilla bread takes on a whole new flavor profile. Feel free to add a couple pinches of salt and pepper for that extra zest!

  4. Stack those cheesy tortillas on top of each other.

  5. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Once it’s ready, carefully place your stacked tortillas in the basket and set the timer for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it! You’ll want to pull it out as soon as the cheese turns a golden brown color with crispy edges.

  6. After it’s done, let it cool for a minute or two, seriously, I know it smells amazing, but you don’t want to burn your mouth! Slice your cheesy creation using a pizza cutter for perfect triangle pieces.
