Expert tips for the best results
- Know your air fryer – air fryers vary a lot (trust me I have a few), so I recommend checking the pizza at around 3 minutes and then continuing cooking as needed.
- Are toppings flying around the air fryer? Yes, this happens. I like to place my toppings on and then add the cheese as an anchor to help hold the toppings down. You can also spray the metal trivet most air fryers come with and place that on top of the pizza while it cooks.
- Be creative – with a personal-size pizza you get to be creative with your toppings, so go for it and have some fun with it!
- Let it cool – this air fryer tortilla pizza will crisp up more as it cools, so don’t skip the cooling time.
Pizza Topping Ideas
- Pepperoni
- Cooked ground meat – like ground turkey, sausage or beef
- Veggies – sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, olives, broccoli, or spinach.
- Sliced chicken breast
- Bacon
- Pineapple + ham
Air fryer tortilla pizza recipe variations
- Low carb – use low-carb tortillas and low-carb toppings.
- Vegan/vegetarian – use vegan shredded cheese and top with your favorite veggies.
- Meat lovers – add some cooked ground meat, bacon and pepperoni to your pizza for the ultimate meat lovers version!
- Pesto pizza – skip the pizza sauce and use some pesto instead and top with some cooked, sliced chicken breast and cheese.
- Breakfast pizza – top with cooked scrambled eggs, crumbled breakfast sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese for the ultimate breakfast pizza!
Serving Suggestions
- Pre/Post-workout – enjoy this pizza with a side of carrots and hummus for some pre-workout or post-workout fuel.
- Afterschool snack – my kids love these air fryer tortilla pizzas for a fun snack after school with some fruit. Plus they are old enough to make it themselves which is a bonus!
- Light meal – serve as a light meal with a hearty salad that requires minimal cooking and cleanup!
- Lazy pizza party – tortilla pizzas are great for a kid’s party, where everyone gets to choose their sauce, cheese, and toppings!
- Gameday – make a bunch of different pizzas cut them into triangles and serve them alongside your other favorite gameday snacks!
Storage and Reheating
This is an air fryer single-serve tortilla pizza so it is unlikely that you will have leftovers. If you do then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes so it crisps up again and remelts the cheese.
FAQ
Yes, you can make this pizza in the oven. Just assemble the tortillas pizzas as directed in this recipe but bake them on a lined baking sheet at 400°F for 3-5 minutes instead.
To prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy, make sure to spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and let them cool for 3-5 minutes after they are done cooking.
I love almond flour tortillas since they crisp up so nicely but I found that regular flour tortillas also work great!
