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 Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F to ensure it reaches the optimum temperature for cooking the tortilla pizza evenly and quickly.
- Prepare Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese with the Italian seasoning to create a flavorful spice blend to sprinkle on the tortillas.
- Oil and Season Tortillas: Brush or spray each tortilla lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle the prepared seasoning mix over them, reserving half for topping the assembled pizzas later.
- Assemble Pizzas: Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over each tortilla, then add pepperoni slices followed by shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning mix on top for added flavor.
- Air Fry First Pizza: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place one assembled tortilla pizza carefully into the basket and air fry for 4-5 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted completely.
- Rest and Crisp: After cooking, remove the basket and allow the pizza to rest inside for 2-3 minutes to let the crust crisp up further.
- Cook Second Pizza: Use a spatula to carefully remove the cooked pizza from the basket, then repeat the cooking process for the second tortilla pizza.
Notes
- You can customize your toppings with vegetables, different meats, or cheeses to suit your taste.
- Ensure the air fryer basket is sprayed with cooking spray before each pizza to avoid sticking.
- Letting the pizza rest in the basket after cooking helps achieve a crispier crust.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the air fryer model.
