Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 low-carb tortillas
Cheese and Bread Base:
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) butter, very soft
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Craft a zesty garlic-herb butter by thoroughly blending softened butter with finely minced garlic and chopped parsley until the mixture becomes uniform and aromatic.
- Lay one tortilla flat and generously coat with half the prepared garlic butter, ensuring complete and even coverage across the surface.
- Distribute the first portion of mozzarella cheese evenly over the buttered tortilla, creating a consistent cheese layer.
- Carefully position the second tortilla directly on top of the cheese-covered base, creating a sandwich-like preparation.
- Apply the remaining garlic butter to the top tortilla’s exterior, spreading meticulously to achieve complete coverage.
- Sprinkle the final portion of mozzarella across the top layer, allowing for thorough cheese distribution.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400F (200C) for optimal cooking temperature.
- Gently transfer the prepared tortilla stack into the air fryer basket, positioning it centrally for even heat circulation.
- Cook for approximately 5 minutes, monitoring until cheese begins melting and tortilla edges turn crisp and golden.
- Transfer the partially cooked dish to an oven-safe plate and activate the broiler setting.
- Broil for an additional 5 minutes, watching carefully to achieve a bubbling, perfectly bronzed surface.
- Remove from heat and allow brief cooling to prevent immediate burning.
- Slice into elegant strips or triangular wedges for serving and enjoy while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Select soft, fresh tortillas for the best texture and crispiness when air frying.
- Use room temperature butter to easily blend with garlic and parsley for smooth, even coating.
- Consider adding red pepper flakes or dried herbs like oregano for extra flavor complexity.
- Try different cheese blends like cheddar or pepper jack for unique taste variations.
