Description

This air fryer pizza quesadilla recipe gives you crispy, gooey, and savory quesadillas in minutes. Whether you prefer classic pepperoni, veggies, or even meat lovers’ toppings, this simple recipe is your go-to for a fast and tasty treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas (810 inches)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (about 6 oz)
  • 34 tablespoons pizza sauce
  • ¼ cup pepperoni slices (optional)
  • ¼ cup bell peppers, thinly sliced (optional)
  • ¼ cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • Olive oil or cooking spray for crisping

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  • Prepare the tortillas: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce, leaving about an inch from the edge.
  • Add the cheese: Sprinkle about 1 ½ cups of shredded mozzarella (and any other desired cheeses) on top of the sauce.
  • Add toppings: Layer on your choice of toppings, such as pepperoni, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
  • Top with another tortilla: Place the second tortilla on top and gently press the edges to seal.
  • Cook in the air fryer: Place the quesadilla in the air fryer basket and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 4-6 minutes. Flip halfway through for even crisping.

Notes

  • You can easily customize your pizza quesadilla by adding any favorite pizza toppings such as sausage, olives, or even pineapple.
  • If your quesadilla is too thick or has a lot of toppings, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
  • For a healthier version, use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas, and load up on vegetables.
