Two thin tortillas become quick pizza bases with Parmesan seasoning and mozzarella. Assemble one at a time for an even layer in the basket.
Ingredients and measurements
- 2 (8 inch) tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or olive oil cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 6–8 slices pepperoni or toppings of choice
Preparation and cooking
- Stage 1
Mix Parmesan and Italian seasoning. Oil tortillas, add half the seasoning, then divide sauce, mozzarella and ready-to-eat toppings between them. Finish with the remaining seasoning.
- Stage 2
Place one assembled tortilla in the basket and cook at 400°F, checking from four minutes until edges are crisp and cheese melted. Follow the appliance’s instructions for thin foods that may lift in the airflow.
- Stage 3
Let stand briefly with the appliance off before lifting with a broad spatula. Repeat with the second tortilla.
- Stage 4
Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
Use cooked or ready-to-eat toppings cut thinly. A short cheese-melting cycle does not cook raw meat safely.
What toppings are suitable?
Thin tortillas soften quickly under a wet topping. Divide the listed half cup between both bases.
Why avoid extra sauce?
Refrigerate perishable leftovers promptly in shallow containers at 40°F or below, within two hours or one hour above 90°F. Reheat cooked leftovers to 165°F; keep cold dishes chilled.
