Step 4: Preheat Your Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking and crisping.
Step 5: Air Fry the Tortillas
- Place one or two prepared tortillas in the air fryer basket but don’t overcrowd (work in batches if needed).
- Air fry for 4–6 minutes, or until:
- The cheese is melted and bubbly
- The edges of the tortilla are golden brown and crisp
Pro tip: Keep a close eye in the last minute — tortillas cook fast and can brown quickly.
Step 6: Garnish and Slice
Once cooked:
- Remove the tortillas carefully using tongs or a spatula.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley or extra herbs for a burst of freshness.
- Slice into wedges (like a pizza) or strips — perfect for dipping!
🍽 Serving Suggestions
Serve your Cheesy Tortilla Garlic Bread hot and fresh with:
- Marinara or pizza sauce for dipping
- Soup or stew on the side
- Salad for a lighter contrast
- Fried eggs for a breakfast twist
🔁 Variations & Tips
- Vegan version: Use vegan butter, vegan cheese, and skip dairy altogether.
- Gluten-free: Use gluten-free tortillas.
- Spicy: Add chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the garlic butter.
- Extra cheesy: Add parmesan or gouda for even more flavor.
- Stuff it: Layer cheese between two tortillas with garlic butter and air fry as a sandwich-style “cheesy garlic melt.”
🧊 Storage & Reheating
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes to restore crispiness.
