For us, garlic bread is at its best when its two things: extremely garlicky and incredibly cheesey. Thankfully, this scrumptious tortilla garlic bread delivers on both fronts. Easy to customize and ready in a flash, this recipe is good for those on the go or looking for some easy deliciousness when staying put.
Tortilla garlic bread is perfect for whipping up on the spot
It is truly wild how tortilla garlic bread shines wherever it goes. As a side at the barbecue, as finger food on game night, or the groundwork for a larger fusion meal, this is the recipe to beat! Everyone gets their money’s worth here and you can easily whip up more as it is inevitably gobbled up.
And because it only takes a few ingredients, you can make it almost any time. While the choice of cheese is up to you, we prefer mozarellea. It adds a fantastically gooey consistency to the bread and pulls apart deliciously.
Really, this garlic bread is all about about choice! It is adaptable to the whims and wishes of the chef: The bread can be changed and switched out to suit your desires, as well as the garlic adjusted to taste.
More cheese? Less cheese? As you can guess, we will leave that question up to you. Get gorgeous with the spices and discover what works best for you. As it turns out, this recipe is an invitation to reflect on what floats your boat and where exactly your tastes might take you. Ditch the map and follow the tides, we say! For a little more heat, add some chili powder to the oil, for example.
Tortilla garlic bread can be combined wonderfully with different dips as well. Try it with a simple sour cream, salsa or, for the ultimate garlic fans, some aioli. Of course, when leaning so hard into the garlic, do exercise compassion for the people in your community and make sure to indulge in an intense toothbrushing session.
