Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • flour tortillas, I used mini ones
  • pizza sauce (store bought or homemade, see notes)
  • shredded mozzarella cheese
  • dried basil
  • olive oil
  • toppings of choice, we used pepperoni and sliced black olives

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375F (190C), and start preparing your pizzas.
  • On each tortilla, about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce, leaving just a small border around the edges. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, add toppings of choice, then drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with dried basil.
  • Place in air fryer basket (mine fits two mini tortillas at one time- otherwise do one pizza at a time) Air fry for 3-4 minutes or until light golden brown, and cheese is melted.
  • Let cool until you can handle the pizzas, then cut into slices and enjoy warm!

Notes

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions:

  • Tortillas: Use small flour tortillas for the best crisp and stability. Whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas also work—just make sure they aren’t too thin.
  • Pizza Sauce: Store-bought is fine, but for the best flavor, use this homemade pizza sauce if you have time.
  • Cheese: Go for shredded mozzarella. You can also mix in cheddar, provolone, or parmesan.
  • Toppings: Keep toppings small and finely diced so they cook through in the air fryer.  Some ideas are red onions, green bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, pepperoni, crumbled up sausage

Recipe Tips:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) before cooking for a crispier base.
  • Don’t overload with sauce—1 tablespoon max per tortilla to prevent sogginess.
  • If your tortillas are flying around, cover them with a metal trivet or rack that fits in your air fryer.

Storing Leftovers:

  • Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
  • Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 1–2 minutes to restore crispness.
  • Avoid the microwave—it makes the tortillas soggy.

Freezing

  • Assemble pizzas (uncooked), freeze on a tray, then store in a zip-top freezer bag for up to 1 month.
  • Air fry directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the cook time.
