Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 (8 inch) tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or olive oil cooking spray
Seasoning Mixture
- 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 (200°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to achieve optimal cooking temperature.
- Prepare the seasoning mixture: In a small bowl, combine grated parmesan cheese with Italian seasoning to create a flavorful blend that will enhance the tortilla crust.
- Prepare the tortillas: Brush or spray both sides of each tortilla evenly with olive oil. Then, sprinkle half of the parmesan and Italian seasoning mixture over both sides, reserving the rest for the final topping.
- Add the sauce and toppings: Spread pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla surface. Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly on top and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizzas. Finally, sprinkle the remaining parmesan and Italian seasoning mixture on top for added flavor.
- Cook the pizzas: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place one tortilla pizza into the basket and cook for 4-5 minutes until the edges turn golden and the cheese is melted. Repeat this step with the second tortilla pizza.
- Rest and serve: Remove the cooked pizzas from the air fryer and let them sit in the basket for 2-3 minutes to crisp up further. Carefully transfer onto a plate with a spatula, cut into triangles, and enjoy your quick and tasty air-fried tortilla pizzas!
Notes
- You can customize toppings based on your preferences such as veggies, different cheeses, or meats.
- If your air fryer is small, cook pizzas one at a time to ensure even cooking.
- Brushing both sides of the tortilla with oil helps achieve a crispy crust.
- Letting the pizzas rest after cooking allows the crust to firm up for better texture.
- Use a spatula to remove pizzas carefully so the crust doesn’t break.
