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.

Air Fried Pizza Ingredients

Pizza ingredients on a counter with an air fryer.

You’ll only need a few crucial ingredients to make a low carb tortilla pizza in the air fryer, but feel free to add as many additional toppings as you like.

• 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

Pre-heat the air fryer to 350 degrees. Using a pastry brush, brush the outer edges of the tortilla with olive oil.
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.
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!
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.
Remove from the air fryer and cool on a baking rack or cutting board.

Can I use this recipe to make air fryer tortilla pizza roll ups?

Yes you can! To make pizza rollups, follow the same steps up until the air frying. Before cooking, roll the tortilla into a cylinder, making sure to keep the toppings inside. You may want to limit the amount of filling you use in this case.
