Why Tortillas?
Using tortillas instead of traditional bread gives you an unparalleled level of crunch and lightness. Plus, it’s a brilliant way to use up those extra tortillas sitting in your fridge! The air fryer crisps them up perfectly, making every bite satisfyingly crunchy and packed with flavor.
The Secret Ingredient: Garlic Butter!
The key to any great garlic bread is the butter mixture. We're keeping it simple and vibrant for this recipe.
Ingredients You'll Need
For the Garlic Butter:
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder for quickness!)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
A pinch of salt
For the Garlic Bread:
4 small or medium-sized flour tortillas
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese (optional, but highly recommended!)
Quick Steps to Garlic Bread Bliss
Here is a simple, step-by-step guide to making this crunchy treat!
Step 1: Prep the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, and salt. The fresh herbs add a lovely pop of color and flavor!
Step 2: Brush the Tortillas
Lay a tortilla flat on a cutting board. Use a brush to spread the garlic butter evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla.
Step 3: Add the Cheese
If you’re using cheese, sprinkle a light layer of mozzarella or Parmesan over the buttery surface. The cheese will melt and become gooey, adding an extra layer of deliciousness.
Step 4: Air Fry!
Carefully place one or two buttered tortillas in the basket of your air fryer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they get perfectly crispy.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
Once the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, carefully remove it from the air fryer. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into wedges, like a pizza.
Serve immediately alongside your favorite pasta dish, soup, or just devour them on their own!
Pro-Tips for the Best Results
Don't Over-Butter: A thin, even coating is all you need. Too much butter can make the tortilla soggy instead of crispy.
Preheat the Air Fryer: For the fastest and most consistent results, preheating for 3-5 minutes is always a good idea.
Make it a Meal: This garlic bread is fantastic dipped in marinara sauce, or topped with a little bruschetta mix for a gourmet twist.
Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mix if you like a little heat!
