Best Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza
Description
The recipe starts by preheating the air fryer and spraying the basket to keep the tortilla from sticking and ensure a crisp base. The tortilla is topped with pizza sauce, leaving a small border, followed by shredded mozzarella or other cheese and cooked toppings like pepperoni, chicken, or vegetables.
Air frying at 400°F for a short time melts the cheese and crisps the tortilla bottom without making it soggy. The pizza rests briefly before serving to firm up for easy removal. Additional garnishes such as fresh basil, pesto drizzle, or hot honey provide finishing touches.
The tortilla base makes this a quick single-serving pizza with a very thin, crispy crust compared to traditional dough. Different tortilla types like almond flour or corn can be used but affect cooking time and size. Cooked meats are required for safe topping.
Preheating and spraying the basket are key to a crispy crust. Thinner tortillas cook faster and corn tortillas might need to be doubled due to smaller size. Adjust toppings and cheese as preferred.
Ingredients
- 1 flour tortilla I used an 8-inch one, substitutions in notes
- 3 - 4 tablespoon marinara sauce or pasta, vodka, or pizza sauce
- ¼ cup mozzarella cheese or sharp cheddar cheese
- pepperoni optional toppings, shredded chicken cooked, cooked ground beef, chopped deli turkey
- chicken sausage
- chicken
- ground beef
- pineapple
- ham
- peppers
- mushroom
- deli turkey
- cherry tomato
- banana pepper
- basil garnish, chopped fresh, drizzle of pesto, drizzle of hot honey
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Don’t skip this step, it ensures a crispy bottom.
- Carefully place the tortilla on the bottom of the air fryer basket.
- Use a spoon to spread the pizza sauce across the tortilla. I like to leave a little 1-inch border.
- Top with shredded cheese and your desired toppings.
- Air fry at 400°F for 5 - 6 minutes.
- Let the pizza sit in the air fryer basket for 1 - 2 minutes before attempting to carefully remove the tortilla pizza from the air fryer with a spatula.
- Garnish with fresh basil, a drizzle of pesto or hot honey; and enjoy!
Notes
- Always preheat the air fryer and spray the basket to prevent soggy crust.
- Almond flour tortillas cook faster, reduce air frying time to 3–4 minutes.
- Corn tortillas are smaller, so use two if they fit and divide toppings evenly.
- Mozzarella works well, but cheddar, Swiss, Mexican blend, or Italian cheeses are good alternatives.
- Dairy-free variations can use plant-based shredded cheese substitutes.
- Cooked meats only for toppings; raw meats require pre-cooking before adding.
