Notes
- Crisp tortillas transform into a quick, delicious pizza alternative in just minutes using an air fryer.
- Prevent tortilla from flying or folding by using a lightweight rack or carefully placing it in the basket.
- Minimal sauce and toppings work best to keep the tortilla crisp and prevent soggy results.
- Choose thin tortillas for maximum crunchiness and even cooking throughout the pizza base.
- Pepperoni can be substituted with various toppings like cooked chicken, vegetables, or vegetarian options.
- Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the perfect crispy texture and melted cheese.
