Ingredients You’ll Need

Part of the charm of Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza is how it transforms simple staples into something positively crave-worthy. Each ingredient plays a starring role here — the tortilla for crispness, the cheese for gooey goodness, the sauce and toppings for bold, customizable flavor!

Flour tortilla (1 large, 8–10 inch): Acts as the ultra-crispy base; you can also use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas if you like.
Pizza sauce (2–3 tablespoons): Brings tangy tomato flavor and a touch of moisture — spread it thin for the best, non-soggy results.
Shredded mozzarella cheese (1/2 cup): Melts beautifully for that gooey, stretchy pizza cheese effect.
Pepperoni (6–8 slices; or toppings of choice): Adds a classic punch, but feel free to get creative with veggies or other proteins.
Italian seasoning (1/4 teaspoon): Scatters an irresistible herby aroma over every bite.
Olive oil spray (optional): Extra spritz boosts the crispiness of your tortilla “crust.”

How to Make Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza

Step 1: Preheat Your Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it heat up for about 3 minutes. Preheating ensures that your tortilla pizza cooks evenly and gets that sought-after crunch from the start, making the base sturdy enough to hold all the cheesy, saucy goodness to come.

Step 2: Prep the Tortilla

Lightly spray one side of your flour tortilla with olive oil, if you want an even crispier crust (I highly recommend it!). Place the tortilla, oil-side down, directly into the air fryer basket. This step not only prevents sticking but also helps develop the perfect golden color.

Step 3: Spread the Sauce

Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of your favorite pizza sauce over the tortilla, spreading gently with the back of a spoon. Leave a small border around the edge, just like your favorite pizzeria, so you end up with pizza-like “crust” to hold onto.

Step 4: Add the Cheese and Toppings

Sprinkle a generous 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella over the sauced tortilla, then layer on the pepperoni or any other toppings you’re dreaming of. (Keep in mind — less is more with tortilla pizzas! Go light on the toppings to keep the crust ultra-crisp.)

Step 5: Sprinkle Seasoning

A quick, even dusting of Italian seasoning finishes things off with herby aroma and flavor that truly brings this Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza to life. Just a tiny pinch goes a long way toward making it taste extra special.

Step 6: Cook to Perfection

Slide the basket back into the preheated air fryer and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 5 to 6 minutes. Keep an eye on it — you’re looking for melty, bubbling cheese and a shell that’s brown and crisp around the edges. Carefully remove the pizza (it’ll be hot!), let it cool for a minute, then slice and enjoy immediately.

How to Serve Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza

Garnishes

Just before serving, add some fresh flair! Try a sprinkle of chopped basil, a dash of chili flakes, or a finishing drizzle of good olive oil for a restaurant-worthy touch. Even a handful of arugula or a dusting of parmesan lends extra personality to your Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza.

Side Dishes

Pair your pizza with an easy green salad tossed in balsamic vinaigrette for a fresh contrast, or serve it alongside carrot and cucumber sticks with ranch dip. It’s the perfect snack-to-meal upgrade, and these light sides won’t weigh you down.

Creative Ways to Present

Slice your Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza into small wedges for a fun party appetizer, or make personal-sized pizzas so everyone can add their own toppings. Try “pizza chips” by cutting into triangles and serving with warm marinara dip — kids and adults alike go wild for these!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Got a slice or two left? Pop them in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. The crust will lose some crunch, but it will still be totally delicious for a quick snack or lunch the next day.

Freezing

While Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza is best fresh, you can freeze leftovers! Allow the pizza to cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. Reheat from frozen as directed below — it’s a handy grab-and-go option for busy days.

Reheating

To revive leftover pizza, just pop it back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and the tortilla is crispy again. The air fryer is your best friend for restoring that delectable crunch!

FAQs

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour for Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza?

Absolutely! Corn tortillas add a lovely toasty flavor and extra crunch. The only thing to keep in mind is that they’re usually smaller and more delicate, so handle carefully when adding toppings or removing from the air fryer.

What other toppings work well with this recipe?

Sky’s the limit! Try sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, onions, or even cooked chicken or sausage. Just remember to keep toppings light — too many can make the crust soggy.

Will dairy-free cheese melt properly in the air fryer?

Many plant-based cheeses melt great in the air fryer, though some may require a minute or two longer. Experiment with your favorite vegan mozzarella and you’ll have a gooey, cheesy vegan Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza in no time!

Can I make dessert versions using the same method?

Yes! Top the tortilla with a swipe of hazelnut spread, a sprinkle of chocolate chips or sliced bananas, and a dusting of cinnamon. Air fry for 2–4 minutes and you’ve got a fun, sweet twist on Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza.

How do I keep the edges from flying up in the air fryer?

If your tortilla edges curl during cooking, gently press them down with a fork before air frying, or lightly secure with a piece of parchment paper topped with a metal rack (just be sure it’s air fryer safe).

Final Thoughts

Whether you stick with the classics or try bold new combos, this recipe is pure, easy-going fun — and just waiting to become your new go-to for snack time or weeknight dinners.
