Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 (8 inch) tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or olive oil cooking spray
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Toppings
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6–8 slices pepperoni (or toppings of choice)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking your tortilla pizzas.
- Make the seasoning blend: In a small bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, mixing well to create a flavorful pizza seasoning.
- Prepare the tortillas: Lightly brush or spray each tortilla with olive oil to help them crisp up and hold toppings, then sprinkle the pizza seasoning mixture evenly over the tortillas, reserving half for the final topping.
- Add sauce and toppings: Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over each tortilla, then arrange the pepperoni slices on top followed by shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the top for extra flavor.
- Cook the first pizza: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Carefully place one tortilla pizza inside and cook for 4-5 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.
- Rest the cooked pizza: Remove the basket from the air fryer and let the pizza sit for 2-3 minutes inside to allow it to crisp up further and set.
- Cook the second pizza: Use a spatula to carefully remove the first pizza. Repeat the cooking process with the second tortilla pizza.
- Serve: Once both pizzas are cooked and crisp, cut them into triangles for easy serving and enjoy your quick and tasty air fryer tortilla pizzas!
Notes
- You can swap pepperoni for any other preferred toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, or cooked sausage.
- Using cooking spray on the air fryer basket prevents sticking and makes clean-up easier.
- If your air fryer is smaller, cook the pizzas one at a time for best results.
- For a crispier crust, let the pizza rest a few minutes in the basket after cooking.
- Try using whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to adjust to dietary needs.
