Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour?

Yes, but flour tortillas get crispier and hold the cheese better.

What cheese works best for tortilla garlic bread?

Mozzarella is classic, but cheddar, provolone, or a blend of cheeses work great.

How do I keep it from burning in the air fryer?

Keep a close eye — air fryers vary, and cheese browns quickly. Start checking at the 4-minute mark.

Can I make this ahead of time?

It’s best fresh, but you can prep the buttered tortillas with cheese and seasonings, then air fry when ready.

What dipping sauces go with cheesy tortilla garlic bread?

Marinara, ranch, garlic butter, or even queso dip pair perfectly with this cheesy snack.
