Key Ingredients and variations
- Tortilla: you need a taco size tortilla that fits in your air fryer basket. I use a regular flour, it crisps up really well, but you can use any tortilla you prefer like a grain-free, gluten-free, low-carb...
- Pizza sauce: I prefer to use pizza sauce over marinara only because it's already seasoned and usually smoother, but you can absolutely use marinara too. If so, I would add a little Italian or pizza seasoning.
- Shredded cheese: I use freshly shredded mozzarella for this one, you can use Italian mix too.
- Toppings: pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, basil... anything you like on pizza. Just make sure you don't load it too much so it doesn't become soggy or hard to remove from the air fryer basket. I also would avoid item that are watery or need a long time to cook.
How to make
- Preheat air fryer to 400° Fahrenheit. Transfer to the air fryer.
Place tortilla on cutting board, add pizza sauce, toppings of choice and shredded cheese.
Cook for 1 ½ to 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Serve and enjoy!

Tips
- Make sure to preheat the air fryer.
- Don't overload your tortilla pizza with sauce or toppings. It could get soggy.
- Try to avoid putting too many toppings towards the middle of the pizza.
- I recommend putting the toppings on the sauce instead of on top of the cheese because if they're light they could fly around in the air fryer.
- Keep a close eye cause air fryer tortilla pizza cooks really fast. Check it at the 1 minute mark to see where it's at. My powerful Cosori makes it in less than 2 minutes, while my other air fryer needed almost 4 minutes. The longer it cooks, the crispier the tortilla edges get.
- I know I say it all the time, but I highly recommend shredding your own cheese. It tastes better, melts beautifully and is more budget friendly.

frequently asked questions
While it makes it easier to clean and remove from the air fryer, I just put the tortilla pizza directly in the basket. It gets a tad more crispy quicker, but both ways work.
Yes you can, but they're brittle and can crack when they heat up. A flour tortilla, sturdy grain-free or gluten-free definitely works best for this recipe.
