This 5-minute air fryer tortilla pizza is cheesy, crispy, and so easy to make! Add any toppings you want for the perfect lunch, dinner or snack.

Making tortilla pizzas in the air fryer is an absolute game changer. Since we use a flour tortilla as the base, it cooks faster than regular pizza dough and requires minimal prep. It’s easy, budget friendly and super customisable!

I topped mine with pizza sauce, spinach for a sneaky serve of sneaky greens, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. But you can add whatever combo you fancy. Plus, the air fryer makes the best thin and crispy pizza crust! If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake them in the oven for 10 minutes instead.

How to make tortilla pizza in the air fryer

Start by spraying the bottom of the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.

Place the tortilla on the bottom of the air fryer basket.

Use a spoon to spread the pizza sauce across the tortilla. I like to leave a little 1/2 an inch border.

Top with chopped spinach (or desired toppings) and shredded cheese.

Recipe FAQ

Should I use corn or flour tortillas?

I recommend using regular flour or almond flour tortillas for this recipe as they are larger, more flexible. Corn flour tortillas are smaller, more firm and with a sweet flavour.

How to get tortilla pizza crispy?

The best way to get it crispy would be to spray cooking oil on the outer edges of the tortilla prior to cooking it. Also, avoid using too many toppings or extremely wet toppings.

Why is my tortilla pizza soggy?

If your tortilla pizza is wet/ soggy, chances you likely used too much sauce and toppings. Since tortillas are thin you need to go light on the toppings

Can I make these dairy free?

Yes! Simply use non dairy/ vegan cheese instead.
