Recommended Equipment
Here are the main kitchen equipment tools I have used to create this recipe.
Air Fryer
My air fryer has been one of the best kitchen gadgets I ever invested in. And I’m absolutely obsessed with it. With 2 fussy kids who don’t eat the same food as me or each other, my air fryer gets used every single day to make them fast, nutrient-packed food that they will eat.
I love cooking with an air fryer because food cooks much more quickly, is more crispy and tastier, and saves a fortune when it comes to my fuel bill.
Air Fryer Silicone Baking Dish
I often use this silicone baking dish when I’m baking with wet ingredients. It is 8 inches or 20 cm and square. It fits my Cosori Air Fryer. Make sure you measure the inside of your Air Fryer before purchasing an Air Fryer baking dish.
This is the silicone air fryer baking dish that I use every day.
Non-Stick Pan
I highly suggest you use a non-stick pan for the vegetable and sauce part of this recipe. In a non-stick pan, this recipe cooks like a dream, with minimal stirring needed.
You can get the large pan that I use by clicking here. Please note, I bought the largest size.
You can get the 10-piece cookware set that I have by clicking here. Please note, this set contains a smaller version of the large deep pan that I bought separately.

Ingredient Substitutions

- Bell Pepper: You can either remove the pepper completely or replace it with a vegetable of your choice such as tomatoes.

How To Reduce The Calories
If you’d like to reduce the calories of this recipe even further, I suggest removing the cheese from the top of the pizza. Alternatively, you could use one wrap instead of 2 which eliminates one of the wraps and half of the cheese from each serving.
How To Increase The Calories
If you would like to increase the calories for anybody who is going to be eating a serving of this recipe, I suggest you add more cheese to the pizza and some more filling toppings.
Storage
Tortilla pizzas will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge in an air-tight container. They also freeze well for up to 3 months. Defrost before using it. Reheat it by warming it up gently in the oven or air fryer.

- Oil-free Sweet Potato Fries (Vegan, Oven & Air Fryer)

- Cook for 2-4 minutes checking on it frequently to see if it’s brown. Once it’s brown you can serve it as it is, or if you want to brown the toppings on the top of the pizza, put your pan under the broiler/grill for 1-2 minutes until you see the edges of the wrap going brown.
