  • To add extra flavor, brush the tortilla edges with garlic butter before cooking.

Storage

Store any leftover tortilla pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place it back in the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 minutes to regain crispiness, or microwave for 30-45 seconds for convenience.
