👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the Tortillas
Spread softened butter evenly over one side of both flour tortillas, all the way to the edges.
Add Cheese & Seasoning
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella on each tortilla. Dust with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
Stack & Cook
Stack the two tortillas cheese-side up. Place in a preheated 375°F air fryer and cook for about 5 minutes. Watch closely and remove once the cheese is golden and bubbling with crispy edges.
Cool & Slice
Let rest for 1–2 minutes, then slice with a pizza cutter into wedges or strips.
💡 Quick Notes
Best served hot and fresh for optimal crispiness.
Make it spicy: add red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños before air frying.
Want a dipping sauce? Marinara or ranch pairs great!

🧊 Storage & Reheat Tips
Storage: Best eaten fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 1 day.
Reheat: Re-crisp in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes.
Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble ahead of time and refrigerate; air fry just before serving.
❓ FAQ
Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour?
Flour tortillas work best for crisp edges and a soft center, but corn will crisp faster and be crunchier.
What if I don’t have an air fryer?
Bake in a 400°F oven for 8–10 minutes or pan-toast on the stovetop until crispy and golden.
Can I add more toppings?
Yes! Thin tomato slices, chopped spinach, or caramelized onions work well layered under the cheese.
