Frequently Asked Questions

👉 How do I get extra crispy edges?
Ensure butter coats the tortillas all the way to the edges. For even more crispiness, cook them in an air fryer or on a cast-iron skillet.

👉 What cheese works best?
Mozzarella gives that classic stretch, but mixing in cheddar, provolone, or parmesan adds a deeper, sharper flavor.

👉 Can I use corn tortillas?
Yes! Corn tortillas will work, but they yield a slightly chewier texture. Flour tortillas get crispier and give a softer, cheesy interior.

👉 How long should I air fry?
Check at 5 minutes. The cheese should be melted and bubbling, the edges golden brown, and the tortilla crisp. Depending on your air fryer, it may take 6–7 minutes total.

👉 What toppings can I add?
Get creative! Try diced tomatoes, sliced olives, jalapeños, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
