Forget the oven! This is your new go-to recipe for a lightning-fast, irresistibly crispy, and cheesy snack. Imagine buttery tortillas stacked high with melted mozzarella and savory seasonings, all air-fried to golden perfection in under 10 minutes. It’s the ultimate solution for sudden cravings, game day, or a quick side for soup or pasta.
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 8 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients
2 large (8-10 inch) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Garlic powder, to taste
Italian seasoning, to taste
Instructions
1. Build the Flavor Base:
Spread the softened butter evenly over one side of each tortilla, making sure to get all the way to the edges. This is the secret to a deeply golden and crispy finish.
2. Load Up the Cheese:
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the buttered side of each tortilla. Then, give them a generous dusting of garlic powder and Italian seasoning for that classic, savory flavor.
3. Create Your Masterpiece:
Carefully stack the two tortillas on top of each other, cheese-side up, to create a single, glorious, double-decker stack.
4. Air Fry to Perfection:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Once hot, place the tortilla stack directly in the basket. Air fry for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is magnificently bubbly and the edges are a deep, crispy golden brown. Watch closely as cook times may vary.
5. Slice and Serve:
Remove the stack and let it cool for just a minute or two—this helps the cheese set for cleaner slices. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice it into wedges or strips, and serve immediately!
Chef's Notes & Variations
Get Cheesy: Feel free to experiment with your favorite cheeses! A sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or a pre-shredded Italian blend would all be delicious.
Add Some Zing: For a touch of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper with the other seasonings.
Garnish for Freshness: After cooking, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or basil for a pop of color and freshness.
Best Served Fresh: This is at its absolute peak right out of the air fryer. If you have leftovers, re-crisp them in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes.
