PRO TIPS for the Best Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza Recipe

Choose the Right Tortilla: Use corn tortillas, whole wheat tortillas, low-carb tortillas, or gluten-free tortillas based on your dietary needs.
Preheat and Prep: Preheat the air fryer for 1-2 minutes at 350°F. Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket and the top of the tortilla with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil spray for a crispier crust.
Don’t Overload with Sauce: Avoid using too much sauce to prevent the tortilla from becoming soggy. A thin layer of your favorite sauce is sufficient.
Edge Protection: Leave a small border around the edges of the tortilla to prevent toppings from spilling over.

How to Make Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza

Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F for 1-2 minutes.

Prepare the Tortilla: Place the tortilla on a cutting board. Lightly spray with olive oil spray. I decided to use two tortillas for this recipe.

Add Toppings: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the top of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Add your favorite toppings, ensuring not to overload the tortilla.

Cook the Pizza: Place the assembled tortilla pizza in the air fryer basket. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown.

Serve: Remove the tortilla pizza from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh basil and additional toppings like red pepper flakes if desired. Cut into slices and enjoy!

How to Store Leftovers tortilla pizza

Leftover tortilla pizza can be stored in an airtight container or zip lock bag in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes or until warmed through.

Cooking Methods Apart from the Air Fryer

You can also make tortilla pizza in an oven or on a stovetop. Baking on a baking sheet in the oven at 400°F for 5-7 minutes achieves a similar crispy crust, while stovetop cooking on a skillet gives you control over the crispiness. However, the air fryer is the best way for a quick and easy tortilla pizza with minimal cleanup.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your crispy air fryer tortilla pizza with a side salad for a complete meal. It’s perfect for pizza night, meal planning, or a simple snack. Customize with toppings to suit the preferences of the whole family.

FAQ’s

Can I use any type of tortilla?

Yes, you can use any type of tortilla including corn, whole wheat, low-carb, or gluten-free tortillas.

Can you freeze tortilla pizza?

Freezing tortilla pizza is a convenient way to have a quick meal ready at any time, making it perfect for meal planning or busy days.

Freeze Uncooked: To prevent the tortilla from getting soggy, it’s recommended to freeze the pizza before cooking. Lay the assembled pizza on a baking sheet or plate and place it in the freezer for 1-2 hours until it’s firm. This step helps the toppings stay in place.
Store Properly: Once the pizza is frozen, transfer it to an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. You can also use a freezer-safe zip lock bag. Be sure to label it with the date.
Cooking Frozen Tortilla Pizza: When ready to eat, there’s no need to thaw. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F, and cook the frozen tortilla pizza for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy. You can also bake it in the oven at 400°F for 8-10 minutes.

How do I get the crust crispy?

Spraying the tortilla with olive oil spray and preheating the air fryer helps achieve a crispy crust.

Can I make this pizza with different sauces?

Absolutely! Try using BBQ sauce, alfredo sauce, or even hot honey for a unique twist.
