How To Make Tortilla Pizza In Air Fryer
- Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your pizza cooks evenly and achieves that perfect crispy texture.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to achieve a nonsticky surface.
- Place your flour tortilla in the air fryer basket and spread a layer of tomato sauce over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Now sprinkle a half cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Arrange your desired vegetable, meat, or a combo of them as a topping on top of the cheese.
- For that extra cheesy goodness, sprinkle another layer of shredded mozzarella over the toppings. This will help bind everything together and create that ooey-gooey texture.
- Cook the tortilla pizza for 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking. The pizza is ready when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the tortilla are golden and crispy.
- Once the pizza is perfectly cooked, carefully remove it from the air fryer basket using a spatula. Transfer the pizza to a cutting board, and let it cool for a minute before slicing.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice your air fryer tortilla pizza into wedges.
- Serve immediately while it's still warm, and the cheese is gooey.
My Bous Tips For Perfect Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza
- Use parchment paper or cooking spray to prevent sticking. It also makes it easy to remove the cooked pizza from the air fryer basket.
- Make sure to preheat your air fryer before cooking the pizza. Preheating helps create that perfect crispy texture on the tortilla.
- Use an appropriate amount of toppings. Don't overload tortilla pizza with lots of toppings, it may lead to soggy results.
- Air fryer cooking time may vary based on the model, size of the pizza, and thickness of the tortilla. Check the pizza frequently to avoid burning the edges.
- If you're using meat toppings like chicken or bacon, make sure they're already cooked. The recommended cooking time does not allow enough time to fully cook the raw meat toppings.
- Air fryer tortilla pizza is at its best when served fresh and hot. Enjoy it right away to experience the crispy crust and melty cheese.
