Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 large flour tortilla
Sauce & Cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings
- 1/2 cup assorted toppings (e.g., pepperoni, bell peppers, olives)
Other
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure the cooking environment is hot and ready for crisping the tortilla.
- Prepare the Tortilla: Lightly spray both sides of the flour tortilla with olive oil. This will help create a golden, crispy crust once cooked.
- Assemble the Pizza: Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the tortilla surface, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges to prevent sauce from spilling over during cooking. Then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce followed by your choice of assorted toppings.
- Cook in Air Fryer: Carefully place the prepared tortilla into the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown, and the tortilla edges are crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza tortilla from the air fryer and let it cool for a minute to set the toppings. Slice into wedges and serve warm for a quick and delicious meal.
Notes
- You can customize toppings based on dietary preferences or what you have available, such as mushrooms, onions, or different types of cheese.
- For extra crispiness, you can flip the tortilla halfway through cooking, but it’s typically not necessary.
- If your air fryer basket is small, you may need to cook one serving at a time to maintain even cooking.
- Use a thin tortilla to ensure crispness and prevent sogginess under the toppings.
