INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED FOR THE AIR FRYER TORTILLA PIZZA RECIPE
You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the easy tortilla pizza (the exact measurements, detailed step-by-step instructions and full recipe are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post):
- Flour tortillas – use your favorite type of tortilla. You can use corn tortillas, whole wheat tortillas, low-carb tortillas or a gluten-free tortilla.
- Marinara sauce – tomato sauce or your favorite sauce of choice.
- Shredded mozzarella cheese – or your favorite cheese.
- Favorite pizza toppings – (e.g., sliced tomatoes, green bell peppers, red onions, black olives, mushrooms, spinach, classic pepperoni slices, or try pepperoni, etc.)
- Dried oregano and red pepper flakes – optional, for seasoning. Can also use garlic powder, italian seasoning, onion powder, etc.
- Fresh basil leaves – (optional, for garnish)
HOW TO MAKE THE AIR FRYER TORTILLA PIZZA
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F and crisp the tortilla for about 5 minutes until lightly golden. Spritz with olive oil spray for extra crunch if desired.
- Spread pizza sauce over the toasted tortilla, leaving a small border. Add shredded cheese and your favorite toppings.
- Carefully transfer back to the air fryer and cook for another 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Remove with tongs, sprinkle with oregano, red pepper flakes, or fresh basil, and let cool slightly.
- Slice and serve hot. Optional but highly encouraged: drizzle with hot honey for that sweet and spicy TikTok twist.
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS
- Pre-crisp the tortilla before adding toppings for maximum crunch.
- Use just enough sauce to coat—too much = soggy base.
- Don’t overload with toppings; this is a thin crust vibe, not a deep dish moment.
- Cook directly in the air fryer basket (no foil) to get the crispiest bottom.
- Keep an eye on it—air fryers work fast and every model is a little different.
- Want extra golden edges? A quick spritz of olive oil spray does the trick.
- Add fresh herbs or a drizzle of hot honey after cooking for that final flavor pop.
HOW TO STORE THE 5-MINUTE AIR FRYER TORTILLA PIZZAS
Let the pizzas cool completely before storing. Place in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer or oven for a few minutes to revive the crispy edges. Pro tip: skip the microwave unless you’re into soggy crust (no judgment).
