Why You’ll Love to Air Fry Tortilla Pizza

Ideal for a summer time happy hour in the backyard, you can even make a meal using these burrito pizzas as a base. Gather lots of different ingredients for switching up the toppings and your crowd can prep their own!

For this recipe, I’m using mozzarella cheese and pepperoni, mostly because that’s one of my favorite pizza topping combos. But you can use whatever you like!

If you’re feeling it, add some shredded cheddar cheese along with the mozzarella. Think of using pizza toppings like mushrooms, pineapple, finely sliced hot peppers.

You can switch up the sauce and use bbq sauce in place of the pizza sauce. You could add thinly sliced chicken instead of the pepperoni. 

Or choose to use tomato sauce instead, then add dried oregano or other herbs. You can use either a flour tortilla or a corn tortilla.

The options are endless and that’s the beauty of these simple tortilla pizzas. That’s also what makes them the perfect dinner idea, especially if you’ve got family that always want different toppings from everyone else on their pizza.

 

Air Fried Pizza Ingredients

• Burrito Sized Tortillas – this is the best size tortilla I’ve found for these personal pizzas, but you may need to choose a different size depending on your air fryer basket.
• Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – a classic pizza cheese, mozzarella will get nice and melty in the air fryer.
• Pizza Sauce – use your favorite store bought pizza sauce, or even make your own!
• Pepperoni – a great place to start for toppings, pepperoni provides lots of flavor and some added protein.

 

How to Cook Pizza Made with Tortillas in the Air Fryer

1. Pre-heat the air fryer to 350 degrees. Using a pastry brush, brush the outer edges of the tortilla with olive oil.
2. Cover each tortilla in pizza sauce. Make sure to come out almost to the edges of the tortilla.
   

   Slather pizza sauce all over the tortilla; feel free to use as much as you like.

3. Sprinkle the tortilla with lots of shredded mozzarella cheese. Add or substitute other cheeses if you like, such as shredded cheddar cheese.
   

   Add a good layer of Mozzarella on top. It will get gooey and melty when it cooks!

4. Add as much pepperoni as you like to the pizza! Add other toppings if you like, such as mushrooms, peppers or pineapple. Set the tortilla in the air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes.
   

   Before assembling your personal tortilla pizza, it’s wise to ensure that the tortilla can fit undisturbed in your air fryer’s basket.

5. Remove from the air fryer and cool on a baking rack or cutting board.
