Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 medium flour tortilla (8 to 10-inch)
- Cooking spray or olive oil (optional for crispier base)
Sauce and Cheese
- 2–3 tablespoons pizza sauce or marinara
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings
- 6–8 slices of turkey pepperoni (or toppings of choice)
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Optional toppings: diced bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, onions, spinach
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Tortilla Base: Lightly spray one side of the tortilla with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil. Place this oiled side down into the air fryer basket or tray to help achieve a crispier crust.
- Add Sauce and Toppings: Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla, then sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Add turkey pepperoni slices and any optional toppings you prefer. Finally, sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of Italian seasoning evenly over the pizza.
- Cook the Pizza: Air fry the assembled tortilla pizza for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy, and the cheese is thoroughly melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza carefully from the air fryer and let it cool for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing. Enjoy your quick, crispy homemade tortilla pizza!
Notes
- For an extra crispy crust, brush the tortilla lightly with olive oil on both sides before cooking.
- You can customize toppings according to your taste and dietary preferences.
- Keep an eye on the pizza during cooking to prevent burning as air fryer models may vary in heat intensity.
- Use a heat-safe spatula to remove the pizza carefully from the air fryer basket to avoid tearing the tortilla.
