Ingredients
Scale
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
Cheese Blend
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Other
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Olive oil spray, for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Spread Garlic Butter on Tortillas: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the garlic butter mixture evenly over one side of each tortilla.
- Assemble Cheese Tortilla Stacks: On two of the tortillas, sprinkle the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the buttered side. Top each with the remaining tortillas, buttered side facing out, to create two quesadilla-style stacks.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 2 to 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Cook Tortilla Stacks: Lightly spray the top of each stack with olive oil spray. Place one stack in the air fryer basket and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the second stack.
- Serve: Remove from the air fryer and allow to cool slightly. Cut each stack into wedges and serve warm, ideal with marinara or ranch dipping sauce.
Notes
- Serve with marinara or ranch dipping sauce for extra flavor.
- Add red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning to the garlic butter for a spicy or herby twist.
- Substitute with whole wheat or low-carb tortillas to suit dietary preferences.
