Ingredients You’ll Need for Air Fryer Cheesy Tortilla Garlic Bread

Softened butter (about 1 tablespoon per tortilla)
Shredded mozzarella cheese (generous amount)
Sprinkle of garlic powder
Sprinkle of Italian seasoning

How to Make Air Fryer Cheesy Tortilla Garlic Bread

Grab a butter knife and generously spread softened butter over both flour tortillas, covering them all the way to the edge. If you’re using soft taco-sized tortillas, about one tablespoon of butter should do the trick!
Load each buttered tortilla with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese. You want it to be ooey-gooey, so don’t be shy!
For that extra punch of flavor, sprinkle a touch of garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the cheese on both tortillas.
Carefully stack the two cheese-loaded tortillas on top of each other to create a delicious cheesy sandwich.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Once hot, place your stacked tortillas into the air fryer basket. Air fry for approximately 5 minutes—but keep an eye on them!
Pull them out as soon as you see the cheese has turned a deep golden brown color with crispy edges. The aroma will be irresistible!
Allow the cheesy delight to cool for a minute or two, then slice it into individual servings with a pizza cutter.

Delicious Variations to Try

Spicy Kick: Add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili flakes for a zesty twist that will awaken your taste buds.
Mixed Cheese Medley: Experiment with different cheese blends like cheddar or pepper jack for creamy indulgence.
Veggie Loaded: Toss in some sautéed spinach or mushrooms for a heartier version that’s packed with flavor.
Herbed Infusion: Mix fresh herbs like basil or cilantro into the butter for an herbal aroma that elevates this dish to gourmet status.
