This tortilla pizza is the ultimate quick fix for a cheesy, crispy craving. The stuffed crust is made by folding the tortilla around mozzarella string cheese sticks, creating a golden, crunchy edge.
You can load it with your favorite toppings like pepperoni, cherry tomatoes, and shredded mozzarella, then air-fry until bubbly and golden. It’s perfect as a snack, appetizer, or even a light dinner.
Ingredients
Converted amounts are rounded.
Method
- Place the tortilla on a plate and arrange the 3 mozzarella string cheese sticks along the edges to form a triangle.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the cheese sticks to create the triangle shape, pinching the edges to seal.
- Spread the pesto evenly over the center of the tortilla.
- Top with shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, and halved cherry tomatoes.
- Brush the folded edges of the tortilla with egg wash.
- Sprinkle dried oregano and sesame seeds over the crust.
- Carefully transfer the pizza to the air fryer basket. Cook at 380°F for about 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden and crispy.
- Remove from the air fryer, garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve warm.
💡 Tips
- If using an oven instead of air fryer, bake at 400°F for about 8-10 minutes.
- To prevent the tortilla from unfolding, secure the folded edges with toothpicks before baking.
- Feel free to substitute the toppings with your favorites, like cooked chicken, mushrooms, or olives.
