Notes
Drain excess cottage cheese liquid: Pouring off any extra whey from the cottage cheese prevents the bottom tortilla from becoming soggy while cooking.
Pre-toasting the bottom tortilla: This crucial step ensures your bottom layer isn't soggy and creates a sturdy base that can hold all the delicious toppings.
Don't overload the tortillas: A thin, even layer of cheese works best for proper melting and fusing the layers together without spillover in your air fryer.
Watch closely during final cooking: Air fryers can vary in temperature, so keep an eye on your garlic bread during the last minute to prevent burning the cheese on top.
Cut with a pizza cutter: Using a sharp pizza wheel rather than a knife gives you clean slices without dragging the melted cheese.
