FAQs
Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?
Yes, you can use corn tortillas, but they are more delicate and may need a slightly shorter cook time to avoid becoming too crispy or brittle.
How do I prevent the cheese from leaking out?
Make sure to evenly distribute the cheese and fold the tortilla carefully, pressing the edges slightly to help seal it before air frying.
