Crispy Air-Fryer Tortilla Pizza with Stuffed Cheese Crust

A quick and crispy tortilla pizza with a cheesy stuffed crust, ready in under 10 minutes using an air fryer or oven.

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.

Method

  1. Place the tortilla on a plate and arrange the 3 mozzarella string cheese sticks along the edges to form a triangle.
  2. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the cheese sticks to create the triangle shape, pinching the edges to seal.
  3. Spread the pesto evenly over the center of the tortilla.
  4. Top with shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, and halved cherry tomatoes.
  5. Brush the folded edges of the tortilla with egg wash.
  6. Sprinkle dried oregano and sesame seeds over the crust.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
