Calories: 278kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tbs tomato paste Note 1
- 2 medium tortillas Note 2
- 14 slices pepperoni Note 3
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano Note 4
- ¼ cup mozzarella cheese Note 5
- ¼ cup tasty cheese Note 6
Garnish (optional):
- fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Set the air fryer temperature to: 180°C / 350-375°F Note 7
- Pizza sauce: lay 2 flour tortillas onto a chopping board, side by side. Use a soup spoon to dollop tomato paste onto each one. Then flip the spoon and use the back of it to spread the tomato paste out into a thin layer covering the tortilla.
- Pepperoni and oregano: next place the pepperoni slices onto each tortilla in one flat layer. Then sprinkle the dried oregano across the top of each pizza.
- Cheese: spread the mozzarella cheese over the top of the 1st pizza and the rest of it over the top of the second pizza. Then take the second grated cheese and do the same.
- Air fry: place the tortilla pizzas onto the wire racks of the air fryer or into the air fryer basket itself. Allow them to cook for 5 minutes. Then use kitchen tongs to remove once the cook time is up.
- Serve: use a pizza wheel to slice the tortilla pizzas into pieces, garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve whilst hot.
Notes
-
- Note 1 - Tomato paste: this is a quick easy pizza sauce! It is thick and rich with tomato flavor.
- Note 2 - Tortillas: you can use flour tortillas or corn tortillas. The main thing is to check that the size of the one you choose will fit onto your air fryer wire racks or air fryer basket.
- Note 3 - Pepperoni: is it even a pizza without pepperoni on it 😂😉. Haha, nah more so it is a great pizza topping that also performs well with the quick 5 minutes of cooking needed in the air fryer.
- Note 4 - Dried oregano: we use a little bit of dried oregano on the pizza before we add the cheese layer. It gives the pepperoni an extra depth of herby flavor. You can use dried Italian herbs if you wish to.
- Note 5 - Mozzarella: shredded mozzarella cheese is known for being a very good cheese to melt. So it is excellent in pasta bakes or as a pizza topping.
- Note 6 - Cheese: up to you which cheese you use for the 2nd cheese. This one needs to have more flavor than the mozzarella so cheddar cheese or tasty cheese is a good option.
- Note 7 - Air fryer temperature: I don't use any of the set buttons on the air fryer. For example 'chips', 'pizza' or wedges'. I use the appliance like it is an oven and set the cook temperature to what I want it to be. In this case, I don't preheat the air fryer and I use this temperature setting: 180°C / 350-375°F .
