Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

2 flour tortillas (soft taco size, any size that fits your air fryer)
Softened butter (about 1 tablespoon per tortilla)
Shredded mozzarella cheese (generous amount per tortilla)
Garlic powder (sprinkle to taste)
Italian seasoning (sprinkle to taste)

Instructions

Prepare the Tortillas: Use a butter knife to spread softened butter evenly over both flour tortillas, covering them completely right to the edges. Approximately 1 tablespoon of butter per tortilla works well to ensure buttery goodness.
Add Cheese and Seasoning: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each buttered tortilla. Follow with a sprinkle of garlic powder and Italian seasoning to enhance the flavor.
Stack and Air Fry: Stack the two cheese-loaded tortillas on top of each other and place them in a preheated air fryer at 375°F (190°C). Cook for about 5 minutes, watching closely. Remove them as soon as the cheese turns a deep golden brown and the edges become crispy.
Cool and Slice: Let the cheesy tortilla garlic bread cool for a minute or two. Then, use a pizza cutter to slice into individual servings. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.

Notes

No strict measurements are required—feel free to adjust butter, cheese, and seasoning based on your taste preferences.
You can substitute mozzarella with other shredded cheeses like parmesan, cheddar, Monterey Jack, or try a blend for varied flavors.
Enhance the garlic bread by adding toppings such as jalapeños, pepperoni, bacon bits, olives, basil pesto, fresh herbs, red pepper flakes, or leftover meats. For leafy greens like basil or spinach, place them under the cheese to prevent them from flying away during cooking.
This cheesy garlic bread works wonderfully as a snack, appetizer, or side dish alongside salads, soups, spaghetti, and more.
Serve with dips like marinara sauce or ranch dressing to elevate the eating experience.
For a lower carb or calorie option, use Carb Balance tortillas which offer about half the calories and added fiber compared to traditional tortillas.
