TikTok Tortilla Garlic Bread in the Air Fryer—you just might be grateful for social media after you try this one!

This recipe makes a fast, cheesy, tasty garlic bread with just a few pantry ingredients you have on hand. We were intrigued by this recipe on TikTok so we decided to recreate it with a few tweaks.

This delectable recipe offers all the flavor of cheesy garlic bread, and it makes a budget-friendly side for lasagna. Just five or so ingredients—so economical and easy to make.

We used mozzarella, but you can use any mild cheese or shredded cheese blend, like chihuahua cheese, muenster, or mild colby jack, just not too soft, like ricotta or cream cheese, since it will all melt out the sides of the tortillas in the air fryer.

Tips to make this TikTok Tortilla Garlic Bread in the Air Fryer appetizer

You don’t have to use cheese. Leave it out and reduce the cook time by a minute or two. The buttered tortillas will get golden brown with just the butter and seasonings. Just watch it closely so it doesn’t burn.
You can use any size of flour tortilla but we don’t recommend corn tortillas for this recipe. They tend to get chewy rather than crisp, we found.
Use any cheese you have on hand and any seasonings that you prefer. Leave out the garlic powder if you are sensitive to it, or use your favorite spice blend to make it your own.
That said, if you want a more intense garlic flavor, you can brush the tortilla with garlic oil or minced garlic before cooking.
