Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 flour or corn tortillas
Garlic Butter
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- Pinch of salt
Cheese Blend
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
- Optional: chili flakes, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: Melt the butter in a small bowl, then stir in freshly minced garlic and a pinch of salt. This mixture will infuse the tortillas with a savory garlic flavor.
- Brush the Tortillas: Lay each tortilla flat and brush both sides evenly with the garlic butter using a pastry brush to ensure flavorful crispiness.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle a generous and even layer of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend over one side of each tortilla, ensuring plenty of gooey melting cheese.
- Air Fry the Tortillas: Place tortillas in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket. Air fry at 370°F (188°C) for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges are golden and crisp.
- Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the tortillas, sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro and optional chili flakes for heat. Slice into wedges and enjoy warm and crispy.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for a brighter, stronger flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; arrange tortillas in a single layer for even cooking.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
- Brush garlic butter on both sides of the tortillas for maximum flavor and crispness.
- Use pre-shredded cheese for faster and more even melting.
