Ingredients:
- 2 low-carb tortillas of choice
- 1/4 cup light butter or margarine (very soft)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
Directions:
- Prepare Garlic Butter Mixture: In a bowl, mix together the soft light butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until well combined.
- Assemble the Cheese Fingers:
- Spread half of the garlic butter mixture evenly over one of the low-carb tortillas.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (about 1/2 cup) evenly over the buttered tortilla.
- Place the second tortilla on top.
- Repeat the process with the remaining garlic butter mixture and mozzarella cheese on the second tortilla.
- Cooking Method:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the assembled tortilla stack in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese is melted.
- Optionally, finish by placing them under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to get a golden brown crust.
- Serve: Remove from the air fryer or broiler and let them cool slightly. Slice into pieces and enjoy warm!
