Garlic butter and two cheeses fill folded tortillas that crisp into wedges. The title reflects the tortilla base used in the ingredient list.
Folding contains loose cheese and makes the thin tortilla easier to handle in moving air.
Ingredients and measurements
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Preparation and cooking
- Stage 1
Mix softened butter, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. Spread over one side of each tortilla.
- Stage 2
Divide mozzarella and Parmesan over the buttered sides and fold into half-moons, pressing lightly.
- Stage 3
Air-fry at 350°F in a single layer for about six to eight minutes, checking early for loose edges or excessive browning. Use only accessories approved by the appliance manufacturer.
- Stage 4
Lift with a spatula and rest before cutting into wedges. Add optional parsley at serving.
