INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE HOMEMADE GARLIC BREAD

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make this buttery garlic bread (the full recipe, nutrition information, and exact measurements are in the printable recipe card below):

• Flour tortilla wrap
• Unsalted butter – can use olive oil for a less indulgent option
• Mozzarella cheese
• Garlic powder – can also use fresh garlic if desired
• Italian seasoning – or dried oregano.
• Optional – parmesan cheese, cream cheese, fresh parsley, garlic paste, dried basil, etc.

HOW TO MAKE THE CHEESY GARLIC BREAD

1. Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface. Using a spoon or a butter knife, spread a generous amount of the softened butter evenly over the surface of each tortilla. Make sure to coat all the way to the edges for maximum flavor.
2. Then add the grated mozzarella cheese, garlic powder and italian seasoning to the buttered tortillas. Add the first tortilla on top of the second tortilla.
3. Preheat your air fryer to around 350°F (175°C). Once preheated, place the tortilla pieces in the air fryer basket and air fry for about 3-5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them as air fryer cooking times can vary. You’re looking for the tortillas to turn golden brown and crispy. If you are making a few at a time, make sure they are in a single layer without overlapping.
4. Once the tortilla garlic bread is crispy and golden, carefully remove them from the air fryer. If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of color and added freshness.
5. Serve the air fryer tortilla garlic bread immediately while it’s still warm and crispy. It’s perfect as a side to pasta, soups, salads, or even as a standalone snack. You can also pair it with marinara sauce, salsa, or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra kick.

HOW TO STORE

Storing your air fryer tortilla garlic bread is quite simple. Follow these steps to keep it fresh for later enjoyment:

1. Cool Completely: Allow the cooked tortilla garlic bread to cool completely to room temperature before storing. This helps prevent moisture buildup inside the storage container.
2. Individual Wrapping: If you have leftover garlic bread, wrap each piece in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. This helps maintain the crispy texture and prevents them from drying out.
3. Airtight Container: If you have multiple pieces or wedges, place them in an airtight container. You can layer them with parchment paper or paper towels to prevent sticking.
4. Refrigeration: While not necessary, you can refrigerate the wrapped or containerized garlic bread. This will help keep it fresh for a longer time, especially in warm climates. Just be aware that refrigeration might slightly affect the texture, making it a bit softer.
5. Reheating: To reheat the stored tortilla garlic bread, preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and air fry for about 1-2 minutes until they’re warmed through and crispy again. Alternatively, you can use a regular oven at the same temperature for a few minutes. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
6. Enjoy Within a Few Days: While air fryer tortilla garlic bread is best enjoyed fresh, properly stored leftovers can be enjoyed within 2-3 days. The texture may not be as crispy after storing, but the flavor should still be delicious.

CAN I USE CORN TORTILLAS INSTEAD OF FLOUR TORTILLAS FOR THIS RECIPE?

Absolutely! While flour tortillas are commonly used, you can definitely use corn tortillas if you prefer. Keep in mind that corn tortillas might have a slightly different texture after air frying, but they can still be delicious.

CAN I FREEZE THE TORTILLA GARLIC BREAD FOR LATER?

While it’s possible to freeze the garlic bread, the texture might not be as desirable once thawed and reheated. The crispy nature of the bread may be compromised. 

If you do freeze it, wrap the pieces tightly in plastic wrap, aluminum foil or in a freezer bag and place them in an airtight container. Thaw and reheat in the air fryer or oven when ready to enjoy.

CAN I USE OLIVE OIL INSTEAD OF BUTTER?

Olive oil can be used as an alternative to butter for a slightly different flavor profile. Brush the tortillas with olive oil and sprinkle minced garlic on top before air frying.

WHAT DIPPING SAUCES PAIR WITH THIS GARLIC CHEESE BREAD?

A side of marinara sauce, salsa, garlic aioli, or even a balsamic reduction can all complement the flavors of the garlic bread. Choose a dipping sauce that aligns with your preferences.

CAN I USE THIS METHOD FOR OTHER TYPES OF BREAD?

Absolutely! The air fryer is quite versatile. You can use this method for various types of bread, like a french baguette, ciabatta, french bread or a french loaf, or even bread rolls. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness and type of bread you’re using.

CAN I MAKE THIS INTO VEGAN AIR FRYER GARLIC BREAD?

Yes, absolutely! Use vegan butter and vegan cheese to make this easy recipe vegan friendly.
