Ingredients
- 8 flour tortillas (soft taco size)
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1–2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare an 8×8 baking dish.
- Fold each tortilla accordion-style and place upright in the dish, packing tightly.
- Gently open folds and stuff shredded mozzarella evenly throughout.
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Spoon the seasoned oil over the tortillas, ensuring it seeps into the folds.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top if desired.
- Cover with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake another 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Cool slightly, then pull apart and serve.
Notes
- Distribute cheese evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Pour oil slowly to allow it to absorb into folds.
- Use fresh mozzarella for best melt.
- Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness.
- Serve warm for best texture and flavor.
