Air Fryer Cheesy Tortilla Garlic Bread Recipe

Introducing Air Fryer Cheesy Tortilla Garlic Bread: Perfectly Cheesy, Crispy, and Ridiculously Easy. I find it lovely how simple it is to throw together in just a few minutes. You don’t need dough, either–just tortillas! A snack, a side, or a quick bite for when comfort food feels too much like work, it’s perfect.

What is Air Fryer Cheesy Tortilla Garlic Bread All About?

Think of it as a cross between garlic bread and a quesadilla crammed with cheese. Instead of thickly sliced loaves of bread, we flattened tortillas to serve as our base. Toasted in the air fryer, they transform into golden and crunchy shells with a filling taste of buttery garlic and gooey melted cheese inside. It is a fast, cheap, yet restaurant-style garlic-bread-like concoction with a fun twist.

Ingredients

For the garlic butter:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon parsley (chopped, fresh or dried)
• Pinch of salt

For the tortilla bread:

• 2 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

How to Make Air Fryer Cheesy Tortilla Garlic Bread

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Mix garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt with the melted butter in a small bowl.
3. Set a tortilla on a plate and spread half of the garlic butter mixture evenly over it.
4. Sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan evenly over the tortilla.
5. Layer the second tortilla on top and pour the remaining garlic butter on top.
6. Place the seasoned tortillas into the FryCook Awake! Basket.
7. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes. Remember to fall asleep halfway through this delicious meal as the tortillas have turned golden brown and the cheese is melted.
8. Serve it sliced into wedges for a sizzling dinner!

Storage Tips

• Anything left over should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 days from the initial cooking time.
• Reheat the leftover Quesadilla in an air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes or until crispy.

Serving Suggestions

• Put along with spaghetti, soup, or salad on a buffet table.
• Cut into little pizza time wedges for a quick starter or game-day snack.
• Serve out of the box with marinara or ranch.

Pro Tips & Variations

• Throw a few drops of red chili flakes into the mix.  
• Give whole-wheat tortillas a try to make them healthier.
• If you relish the heat, one out of many: substitute pepper jack for mozzarella–what should we know about –- that’s more of a warm buzz than an unbearable burn.
• Throw in some extra Parmesan before air-frying for a lovely golden crust.

FAQs

1. Can I use corn tortillas for this?

Yes, they work, but flour tortillas crisp up better, holding in the cheese well.

2. Can I make this healthier?

A lighter version works by using olive oil spray instead of butter.

3. Is this recipe vegetarian?

Yes, as long as you use vegetarian cheese.

4. Can I freeze it?

Fresh is best, but you may freeze it cooked in slices and reheat in the air-fryer.
