Helpful Tools
Creating tortilla garlic bread is a breeze with the right tools:
- Air Fryer: This is the star of the show, giving you that perfect crunch and melt.
- Basting Brush: For evenly spreading the butter on the tortillas.
- Measuring Spoons: To ensure accurate measurements of the garlic powder and seasoning.
How to Make Tortilla Garlic Bread
Prepare: Lay out both tortillas flat on a clean surface.
Spread the Butter: Using a butter knife, spread a generous amount of the softened butter over each tortilla.
Sprinkle Garlic Powder: Evenly sprinkle garlic powder over the buttered tortillas. This will infuse them with amazing flavor.
(If preferred: melt the vegan butter in a small bowl, mix in the Italian seasoning and garlic powder and then baste it on each tortilla using a basting brush)
Add Vegan Mozzarella: Sprinkle a single layer of shredded vegan mozzarella over each one of the tortillas, ensuring an even distribution.
Season with Italian Seasoning: Top off with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning to enhance the taste profile.
Create a Sandwich: Place one tortilla on top of the other to create a sandwich-like structure, keeping them flat.
Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees. Place the tortilla sandwich in the air fryer basket and cook for about 3-5 minutes. (a little aluminum foil or parchment paper can be used to keep the air fryer clean, however make sure there is still sufficient air flow). Keep an eye on it to prevent burning. It’s important to note that air fryer cooking times may vary, depending on the air fryer.
Check for Perfection: The cheese should be melted, and the edges of the tortillas should be golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove from the air fryer, slice if desired, and serve this delightful treat. The tortilla pieces are great served with soup, stew, chili or just as a delicious snack or side dish.
Any leftover garlic bread can be stored in plastic wrap or an airtight container in the fridge. This can be frozen in a freezer bag and re-heated although I don’t recommend it since eating it fresh offers the best texture.
