Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza

This air fryer tortilla pizza gets thin, crispy, and melty in just minutes. The simple trick is to pre-crisp the tortilla first and use a light cheese layer under the sauce to help prevent a soggy middle.

Directions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

2. Place the tortilla in the basket and air fry for 1 minute to lightly crisp the base.

3. Sprinkle a very light layer of mozzarella over the tortilla first. This helps create a barrier so the sauce does not soak into the middle.

4. Spread the pizza sauce thinly over the top, leaving a small border around the edge.

5. Add the remaining mozzarella in an even layer.

6. Top with pepperoni slices.

7. Air fry at 400°F for 4–5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges are browned and crisp.

8. Sprinkle with oregano, let rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve.

Notes / Tips

  • Do not overload the tortilla with sauce or too many toppings.

  • Pre-crisping the tortilla is the easiest way to improve texture.

  • A cheese-first layer helps keep the center from turning soft.

  • Check at 4 minutes, since some air fryers brown fast.

  • For extra cheese pull, add a little extra mozzarella in the final minute.

Variations

  • Use turkey pepperoni or cooked sausage.

  • Add black olives or sliced bell peppers in a very light amount.

  • Make it cheese-only for a super simple snack version.

  • Sprinkle with parmesan after cooking.

  • Add basil after air frying for a fresher finish.
