Pizza is a favorite in our house. So are quesadillas. So whenever we have tortillas, I love making pizza quesadillas.

Sometimes I will cook the pizza quesadillas on the stove, but lately I've been making them in the air fryer. It's quick, easy, and they cook in less than 5 minutes! And even better? No flipping needed.

Ingredients

  • Flour tortillas
  • Tomato sauce
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Olive oil
  • Dried oregano (optional)

Customization ideas

This recipe is easy to customize! You can add different toppings just like you would a regular pizza. However, because the cook time of the quesadilla is so short, most toppings should be pre-cooked before adding to the quesadilla.

You can add pepperoni, sautéed onions, cooked bell pepper, black olives, cooked sausage or any of your favorite pizza toppings.

Recipe tips

  • The recipe written as is makes one quesadilla, but you can make as many as you like.
  • If you have a smaller air fryer, you may need to make sure you are using small flour tortillas or fold them in half to fit.
  • All air fryers cook differently. Adjust cooking times if needed.

Do you need to preheat your air fryer?

For this recipe, you do not need to preheat your air fryer to make pizza quesadillas.
