Description

This quick and easy 5 Minute Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza is a perfect snack or meal when you’re short on time. Using a simple flour tortilla as the base, it features tangy tomato sauce, melted mozzarella cheese, savory pepperoni, and a blend of Italian seasoning, all cooked to crispy perfection in an air fryer. Ready in just 10 minutes, this homemade mini pizza delivers all the classic flavors with minimal effort and cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 large flour tortilla
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Pizza 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: Place the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat one side of the tortilla with olive oil to ensure a crispy crust after cooking.
  2. Add 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.
  3. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, leaving a small border along the edges to form a crust.
  4. Top the Pizza: Arrange the sliced pepperoni or your choice of toppings evenly on top of the cheese layer.
  5. Season: Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the toppings to enhance the flavor.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for approximately 2 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  7. Cook the Pizza: Carefully place the prepared tortilla pizza into the air fryer basket, making sure it remains flat and toppings stay in place.
  8. Air Fry: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese bubbles and the edges of the tortilla turn golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove and Cool: Using tongs, carefully remove the pizza from the air fryer and let it cool for a minute before slicing.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Add fresh basil leaves if desired and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can customize toppings according to preference, such as vegetables, cooked meats, or different cheeses.
  • For an even crispier crust, brush olive oil on both sides of the tortilla.
  • Check your air fryer’s basket size to ensure the tortilla fits flat for even cooking.
  • Use a tortilla large enough to fill your air fryer basket without folding.
  • Keep an eye on the pizza during cooking to avoid burning as air fryer models can vary in cooking time.
