Units
Scale
- 2 Flour Tortilla
- 1/4 cup Marinara / Pizza Sauce
- 1/4 cup Mozzarella cheese

- Bell Peppers
- Spinach
- Artichokes
- Roasted Garlic
- Parmesan

Instructions
- Prep Your Tortilla: Begin by placing your tortilla in the air fryer basket. A spritz of oil can ensure extra crispness, but the air fryer's natural convection should suffice to avoid sogginess.
- Apply Your Sauce Tactfully: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce, leaving about an inch from the edge clear to mimic a crust and prevent sauce from spilling during the air frying process.
- Layer Your Toppings: Add your cheese evenly over the sauce and then arrange your additional toppings. Remember, the air fryer works quickly, so there's no need for pre-cooking most toppings.
- Air Frying Alchemy: Set the temperature to 400°F, and cook for about 4 minutes, or until you notice the edges brown and the cheese bubbling with joy. Air fryers do their magic swiftly, so keep an eye on your pizza to prevent overcooking.
- The Grand Reveal: Once done, let it cool for a moment in the basket before transferring it to a plate. The cooling period allows the crust to firm up further.
