Instructions

Step 1: Prepare seasoning

In shallow bowl, stir together garlic powder, oregano, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.

Step 2: Roll and batter mozzarella sticks

Place one mozzarella half in center of each tortilla. Fold in sides and roll to enclose like a burrito. Arrange, seam side down, on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Roll mozzarella sticks in seasoning mixture.

Preheat air fryer to 375°F according to manufacturer’s instructions. In batches, arrange tortilla cheese bundles in air-fryer basket seam side down. Air-fry, flipping halfway through, for 5 to 8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Prepare dip

Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together yogurt, lime zest, lime juice, cumin, remaining salt and remaining ­pepper.

Step 5: Serve with dips

Serve mozzarella sticks with pico de gallo and lime yogurt for dipping.
