FAQs

Can I make these without an air fryer?

Yes, you can bake them in a conventional oven at 375°F (190°C) on a baking sheet for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese melts and the edges turn golden.

How do I prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy?

Brushing them with melted butter and air frying at the right temperature helps keep the tortillas crisp. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket so air can circulate properly.
