About the Ingredients
8 large flour tortillas
Use standard size ones found in any grocery store. Whole wheat works too if you prefer it.
1/4 cup (60ml) melted butter
Salted butter adds more flavor. Unsalted is fine if you add salt later.
3 cloves garlic minced
Fresh garlic tastes better than powder. Use half as much if using dried.
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Smoked paprika gives a nice color. Regular red pepper works too.
1/2 teaspoon salt
Add more if your tortillas taste bland. Taste the butter first.
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents. Freshly grated melts smoother.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes but adjust the time by adding five minutes. Check for bubbling centers before serving.
Q: Why did my snacks burn so fast?
Your air fryer might run hotter than expected. Lower the temp by twenty degrees next time.
Q: Is this suitable for a low carb diet?
Regular tortillas are high in carbs. Try lettuce wraps or almond flour tortillas instead.

Let the steam escape by opening the lid briefly. Serve them immediately after cooking.
Step-by-Step Instructions
