Description

This quick and easy 5 Minute Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza is perfect for a delicious snack or light meal. Using a simple flour tortilla as the base, topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and your favorite toppings, it cooks to crispy perfection in an air fryer in just minutes. It’s a convenient and tasty way to enjoy pizza without the long wait or complex dough preparation.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 large flour tortilla
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Sauce & Seasoning

  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce or pizza sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni or any preferred topping
  • Optional: fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tortilla base: Place the tortilla flat on a cutting board or clean surface. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat one side with olive oil to help achieve a crispy crust during cooking.
  2. Spread the sauce: Flip the tortilla so the oiled side is down. Spread the tomato or pizza sauce evenly over the top side using the back of a spoon for an even layer.
  3. Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, leaving a small border around the edges to form the crust.
  4. Top with pepperoni: Arrange the sliced pepperoni or your chosen toppings evenly over the cheese layer for balanced flavor distribution.
  5. Season the pizza: Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the toppings to enhance the overall taste.
  6. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for about 2 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  7. Place the pizza in the air fryer: Carefully place the prepared tortilla pizza flat into the air fryer basket, making sure toppings are secure and evenly distributed.
  8. Air fry the pizza: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 4-5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the tortilla edges are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove and cool: Use tongs to take the pizza out of the air fryer. Let it cool for a minute to firm up before slicing.
  10. Garnish and serve: Optionally, add fresh basil leaves on top for aroma and flavor, then slice into triangles and serve immediately for the best taste.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, brush the tortilla with olive oil thoroughly on the bottom side.
  • You can customize toppings based on preference – vegetables, cooked meats, or different cheeses work well.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, you might need to fold the tortilla slightly or use smaller tortillas.
  • Keep an eye during cooking as air fryer wattages vary; pizza is done when cheese bubbles and edges turn golden.
  • Serving fresh is best since the crust can lose crispiness if left to sit too long.
