These Air Fryer Tortilla Pizzas have become a lunch and quick snack favourite here using the air fryer lid of the Instant Pot Duo Crisp or a standalone air fryer. I include instructions for both.

📖 Recipe
Instant Pot Duo Crisp Tortilla Pizzas
Equipment
- Instant Pot Duo Crisp
Ingredients
- Passata or pizza sauce enough to spread over the base, I use Cirio Passata Rustica
- Cheese of your choice I tend to use mature cheddar
Toppings of your choice, these are a few ideas
- Chorizo
- Ham or leftover gammon
- Sliced onion or red onion
- Sliced peppers
- Sliced mushrooms
Instructions
- Place the Instant Pot Duo Crisp's trivet / multifunctional rack on the higher setting (see video above if you don't know how to do this).
- Press tortilla wrap into 20 cm cake tin (metal will transfer heat better and you want this to be fast). Mine are just basic 20 cm cake pans probably from Wilko that I use for my cakes.
- Spread with Passata (I use the beautiful Cirio Passata Rustica), sprinkle cheese and your favourite toppings. Don’t overload it as it’s a thin base.
- Place the cake tin with the prepared tortilla pizza on the trivet / multi-functional rack.
- Crisp’s Air Fryer Lid on. Press Broil, programme 5 minutes. Don't forget to press Start! Lift lid quickly to check how it’s doing when there are 2 minutes left. It will give you an idea of whether you need to take it out before time is done or whether you need to increase time a bit.
- Take the cake pan out and grab two opposite edges of the tortilla wrap to carefully move your tortilla pizza to a plate. Bearing in mind it’s all going to be hot and the base is very thin, so you need a quick transfer. I haven’t had a single one break in the middle doing it like this.
In the Instant Vortex Air Fryer
- In the Instant Vortex Air Fryer, follow all the instructions as above but programme Air Fry, 4 minutes, 180ºC
Notes
Ideas for the tortilla pizza toppings
The key ingredients are, of course, tomato and cheese.
After that, you can go for your life.
Here are some of the toppings we've done so far:
Red onion and Chorizo
Mushroom, Gammon, Olives, Green Pepper
Also known as the fridge clear-out tortilla pizza 😉
This one was a sliced mushroom, diced gammon (pressure cooked in the Instant Pot, of course), olives, bit of green pepper....
Chorizo and mushroom
Super quick with the air fryer lid
The beauty of these Tortilla Pizzas is that they take no time from thought to completion.
Got left over tortilla wraps?
Use them with my Instant Pot Baharat Chicken or Easy BBQ Pulled Pork or Air Fryer Smoky Fajita Chicken.
Want more recipes for your air fryer?
We highly recommend this Baked Camembert, the Paxo Stuffing, as well as our homemade Sage and Onion Stuffing. Also, the whole Roast Chicken & Gravy, Chicken and Chorizo or Smoky Chicken. Do you sense that chicken air fries really well?
Something super quick just like these Yorkshire puddings is an Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza.

How to air fry these tortilla pizzas (step-by-step photos)
Step 1. Place the Duo Crisp's trivet / multi-functional rack in the inner pot using the higher setting. The video below shows you how.
Step 2. Press a tortilla wrap into 20 cm cake tin (metal will transfer heat better and you want this to be fast). Mine are just basic 20 cm cake pans, probably from Wilko, that I use for my cakes.
Step 3. Spread with Passata (I use the beautiful Cirio Passata Rustica), sprinkle cheese and your favourite toppings. Don’t overload it as it’s a thin base.
Step 4. Place the cake tin with the prepared tortilla pizza on the trivet / multi-functional rack.
Step 5. Crisp’s Air Fryer Lid on. Press Broil, programme 5 minutes. Don't forget to press Start!
Lift lid quickly to check how it’s doing when there are 2 minutes left.
It will give you an idea of whether you need to take it out before time is done or whether you need to increase time a bit.
Step 6. Take the cake pan out and grab two opposite sides of the tortilla wrap to carefully move your tortilla pizza to a plate.
Bearing in mind it’s all going to be hot and the base is very thin, so you need a quick transfer.
I haven’t had a single one break in the middle doing it like this.
Dig in!
We tend to cut a triangle like this and then just eat from there.
The "crusts" are really nice dipped in the middle.
Equipment
I have two cake pans that are exactly the same so we just have the next tortilla pizza ready to go in and so on.
You can blind bake the tortilla wrap with baking beans, if blind baking make sure you do have those in place or something of weight as the tortilla will otherwise fly up obstructing the lid.
But, having tried it both ways, blind baking is not worth the extra time

I love these! I alternate between these and omelettes for lunch. Favourite fillings are pretty much anything you'd put on a pizza (including anchovies!) - had a glut of very ordinary pasta sauce from the Boris boxes and have been using a couple of spoons of that as a base - better than wasting it. Thanks Maria!
