Made in just minutes with simple ingredients, it’s ideal for anyone following a keto or low-carb lifestyle.
Ingredients:
- 2 low-carb tortillas: Your choice of low-carb tortillas (like Mission Carb Balance) to keep carbs low.
- 1/4 cup butter (soft): Softened butter to create the crispy, golden-brown crust.
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic: Fresh garlic for a bold flavor.
- 1 Tbsp parsley: Adds a fresh, herbal note and some color.
- 1 cup mozzarella (shredded): Melts perfectly for that gooey, stretchy cheesy finish.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until well combined.
- Assemble the First Layer: Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Spread half of the garlic butter mixture evenly over the tortilla. Top with ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Top with Second Tortilla: Place the second tortilla on top, spread the remaining garlic butter over it, and sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella.
- Air Fry or Bake: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Cook the tortilla stack for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are crisp. Alternatively, bake at 375°F for 8-10 minutes.
- Finish Under Broiler: Transfer to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes until the top tortilla is golden and the cheese bubbles.
- Slice and Serve: Let cool slightly before slicing into strips or “fingers” with a pizza cutter. Serve hot with your favorite keto dipping sauces like marinara or ranch.
