Tips for Perfect Tortilla Pizza
Are you whipping up a pizza with an air fryer? Here’s some handy advice on getting that tortilla pizza crispy and yummy: preheating, getting that oil right, and nailing the cooking time and heat setting.
Preheating and Oil Spraying
Set that air fryer to 375°F (190°C) first. It’s like a good warm-up before the main event, making sure your tortilla cooks are friendly and even and give you that satisfying crunch. (Check out All Recipes for more)
Next, spray the basket or your tortilla with olive oil before entering the fryer. This move ensures you get that perfect crispy bottom, even when loaded with sauce. (More tips at Healthful Blondie)

Serving and Storage Suggestions
Enjoying Your Freshly Made Pizza
Chowing down on a hot, crispy air fryer tortilla pizza is like a party for your taste buds! Nothing quite like munching on that gooey Cheese and those savoury toppings, all beautifully blended on that crackling tortilla base. My favourite way to take it up a notch is to add a side salad or garlic bread that smells so good you could eat your weight.
Are you cooking up a whole bunch? No sweat! Just pop that first tortilla pizza in the oven on the lowest heat to keep it warm and toasty while you get the next one going.
Storing Leftover Tortilla Pizzas
Have you got some leftover fun? No biggie! Here’s the lowdown on keeping and heating them so they’ll still knock your socks off later.
Storing Leftovers:
- Let that pizza chill till it’s cool to the touch.
- Put the leftover slices in a container that won’t let any air in.
- Stick it in the fridge, but don’t wait more than three days to dig in again.
Reheating in the Air Fryer:
- Crank up the air fryer to 325°F.
- Give those leftover slices room in the basket so the air can do its magic.
- Let it reheat for about 4 minutes until you can’t longer resist.
Reheating in the Oven:
- Set your oven to 350°F.
- Lay your slices on a baking sheet.
- Warm them up for around 10 minutes or until the Cheese is all bubbly and saying, “Eat me!”
Do this; your leftover tortilla pizza will keep its crunch and yumminess. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to mix it up, try other tasty options, like my Funghi pizza mushroom.
