Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large flour tortilla (8–10 inches, whole wheat or regular)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheese blend)
- 56 pepperoni slices (or your favorite toppings: veggies, sausage, mushrooms, etc.)
Sauce and Seasonings:
- ¼ cup pizza sauce (or marinara sauce)
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for a garlicky kick)
Toppings and Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
- Fresh basil or red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Arrange an air fryer rack or basket with a non-stick liner to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Position a tortilla flat on a clean surface, creating a crisp foundation for your personalized pizza.
- Evenly spread tomato sauce across the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow during cooking.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce, covering the surface with a uniform layer.
- Add pepperoni slices strategically across the cheese, distributing them for balanced flavor in each bite.
- Carefully transfer the prepared tortilla pizza into the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring it lies flat without folding.
- Cook the tortilla pizza for 4-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning and achieve a golden, crispy texture.
- Once the cheese is melted and the edges are turning golden brown, carefully remove the pizza from the air fryer.
- Let the pizza cool for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- Slice the tortilla pizza into wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife for easy serving.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh basil leaves or red pepper flakes for added flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- Choose thin tortillas for a crispy base that mimics authentic pizza crust texture.
- Avoid overloading toppings to prevent soggy centers and ensure even cooking in the air fryer.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like mozzarella and parmesan for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Brush tortilla edges with olive oil to achieve a golden, crispy finish that adds delicious crunchiness.
