Air fryer tortilla pizza cooks up so quickly and is easy to customize! It's a delicious low-carb alternative to regular pizza. The pizza comes out nice and crispy and is so flavorful with toppings. This is a kid-friendly recipe that is easy to make for lunches or snacks, but adults love it too!

Is there anything that can't be made in the air fryer? Okay, yes. There is. But these tortilla pizzas aren't one of them. They are so incredibly quick and easy to make. No preheating required. Just top your pizza as desired, pop into your air fryer, and several minutes later, you have a delicious, low-carb pizza.

I love making classic cheese with tomato sauce and fresh basil. It's so tasty. But I might try a bbq chicken next. Or even classic pepperoni. What's your favorite?

Why make pizzas in the air fryer?

This is a great question, and one I thought to myself as I was making these for lunch (again) today. First of all, to get a perfectly crisp tortilla, you would need to place them directly on the oven rack. To me, that means a floppy tortilla may lose a bit of toppings if it isn't placed perfectly on the rack.

Also, I love not having to heat up a whole oven (and wait for it to preheat). I was easily able to cook up 4 of these tortilla pizzas in no time at all in my air fryer, no preheating required. So simple and easy.

What type of tortillas to use

I've found that any flour tortilla works best for these pizzas, no matter the size. I wouldn't recommend using corn tortillas, as they don't resemble a pizza as much and don't crisp up as perfectly.

Customization ideas

One of my favorite things about air fryer tortilla pizzas is they are so easy to customize for tastes! Just note that if you are putting too many heavy toppings on, it will weigh down the tortilla and you may need to add some extra time to get it to crisp up.

You can also add whatever seasonings you like! Italian seasoning, dried oregano, and even red pepper flakes are great options.

The air fryer tortilla pizza also spends so little time in the air fryer, that I recommend precooking any veggies or meat you add to the pizza (unless it's already precooked, like pepperoni). Most tomatoes can also be added raw if sliced thinly enough.

  • BBQ Chicken Pizza - BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, cooked chicken, thinly sliced red onions
  • Margherita Pizza - Tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced tomatoes, fresh basil
  • Pepperoni Pizza - Tomato sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese

Cooking tips

  • If adding fresh basil to the tortilla pizza, it does brown up as the leaves touch the hot surface (as seen above!). If you want to minimize this, let the pizza cool a bit before adding basil, or even slice up your basil leaves a bit before adding so they are more ribbonlike.
  • Precook all meats (except for pepperoni/Canadian bacon) and all veggies (except for thinly sliced tomatoes) before adding to the pizza.
  • All air fryers cook differently, so keep an eye on it, and check for doneness starting at the 3 minute mark.
  • My preference to cook these have been at 380 degrees F for 4 minutes. However, I also tested out 400 degrees F at 3 minutes and 350 degrees at 5 minutes, and both those times worked well in my air fryer. But like the point above, all air fryers may cook a little differently.

How to make:

First, take your tortilla and spread tomato sauce or pizza sauce on top. I also like to add dried oregano.

Cook at 380 degrees F for 4 minutes, let the tortilla pizza cool slightly, top with fresh basil, and enjoy! I like to eat the air fryer tortilla pizza as is, slice up into slices like a pizza, or even fold in half and eat.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 flour tortilla
  • 1 tablespoon tomato sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ⅛ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 5 basil leaves

Instructions
 

  • Take your tortilla and place it onto a cutting board or paper towel.
  • Smooth the tomato sauce over the tortilla, leaving an edge just like you would get on a regular pizza. Add dried oregano and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Place in your air fryer and cook at 380 degrees F for 4 minutes.
  • Remove from air fryer and top with fresh basil.

Notes

  • ⅛ cup equals 2 tablespoons.
  • If adding fresh basil to the pizza, it does brown up as the leaves touch the hot surface (as seen above!). If you want to minimize this, let the pizza cool a bit before adding basil, or even slice up your basil leaves a bit before adding so they are more ribbonlike.
  • Precook all meats (except for pepperoni/Canadian bacon) and all veggies (except for thinly sliced tomatoes) before adding to the pizza.
  • All air fryers cook differently, so keep an eye on it, and check for doneness starting at the 3 minute mark.
