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
Pizza 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 to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking your tortilla pizzas.
- Combine Parmesan and Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix the grated parmesan cheese with the Italian seasoning to create a flavorful pizza seasoning blend.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Brush or spray both sides of the tortillas lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle the mixed parmesan and Italian seasoning on top of the tortillas, reserving half of this mixture to sprinkle over the pizza toppings later.
- Add Sauce and Toppings: Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over each tortilla, then arrange the pepperoni slices evenly. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella generously over the top, followed by the remaining seasoning mixture.
- Cook the Pizza: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Carefully place one tortilla pizza in the basket and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown and the cheese is thoroughly melted.
- Rest and Crisp: Once cooked, remove the basket from the air fryer and let the pizza sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the crust to crisp up further.
- Repeat for Second Pizza: Use a spatula to carefully remove the first pizza and cook the second one following the same method.
- Slice and Serve: Cut each tortilla pizza into triangles and enjoy your fast, crispy, flavorful air fryer pizza.
Notes
- You can substitute pepperoni with any preferred toppings such as vegetables, cooked sausage, or olives.
- For a crispier crust, let the cooked pizza rest in the air fryer basket after cooking.
- Adjust the cheese amount to your preference or use a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option.
- Use olive oil spray for a lighter and more even coating on the tortillas.
- Cooking times may vary based on your air fryer model; keep an eye to avoid burning.
