Equipment

- Brush For lightly coating tortillas with oil or butter
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas soft, pliable, and easy to crisp
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded, for best melting

Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even crisping.
- Lay one tortilla flat and spread an even layer of pizza sauce across the surface, keeping it light to prevent sogginess.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then arrange pepperoni slices or preferred toppings.
- Place the second tortilla on top and press gently to secure the filling.
- Lightly brush both sides of the quesadilla with olive oil for a crispy golden finish.
- Place in the air fryer basket and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tortillas are golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the air fryer and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing into wedges.
Notes
- For extra crispness, use a perforated parchment paper liner in the air fryer basket.
- Experiment with different toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, or crumbled sausage.
- Serve with warm marinara or garlic butter for dipping.
