Using tortillas to encase mozzarella string cheese produces a faster, simpler version of mozzarella sticks with less oil and breading. Smaller tortillas like taco or fajita sizes produce neat roll-ups when sides are tucked in. Brushing roll-ups with butter or oil plus seasonings and air frying for about eight minutes yields a crispy, golden exterior and melty interior. Microwaving gives faster results with melty cheese but less crispness. The approach allows dietary customization through low-carb or gluten-free tortillas and alternative cheeses such as skim or vegan varieties. The method reduces effort and expands flavor variations.
Changing your breading is a tasty way to upgrade mozzarella sticks, but tortillas in particular achieve this with the added advantage of effortlessness. Simply grab mozzarella string cheese and roll each one in a tortilla - smaller ones are best, like taco or fajita tortillas - tucking in the sides for a neat, contained finish. Then you'll brush them with a mixture of butter or oil and any spices and seasonings you want and pop them into the air fryer for about eight minutes.
For even faster results, you can microwave these roll-ups. You'll still get satisfyingly melty cheese on the inside, although the air fryer creates that crispy, golden shell out of the tortilla. This is our new favorite two-ingredient hack for fast, delicious mozzarella sticks, and it helps that you can customize those two ingredients pretty endlessly. Use low-carb or gluten-free tortillas, for example, or skim or vegan cheese.
