Method
To make this delicious Tortilla Garlic Bread, start by prepping the tortillas. Begin by buttering one side of each mini tortilla. Then, sprinkle a bit of garlic granules and mixed herbs over the buttered side of the first tortilla. For extra flavor, place a slice of cheese on top of the buttered side. Next, take another tortilla and place it on top of the cheese, with the buttered side facing up. Gently press the tortillas together. Now, it’s time to season the top of the second tortilla. Butter the top, then sprinkle a little more garlic granules and mixed herbs. Follow this by sprinkling the mozzarella cheese evenly over the buttered surface. Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F), then carefully place your tortilla stack into the air fryer basket. Make sure the tortillas are stacked flat and not turned over, so they cook evenly. Set the timer for 4 minutes and let the air fryer work its magic. Once the timer goes off, serve your Tortilla Garlic Bread by carefully removing it from the air fryer. Top it with fresh or dried parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Now, enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness of this delightful snack!
