  • Sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for serving Optional

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Large Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees F to ensure the tortilla starts crisping immediately.
  2. Place one flour tortilla flat in the bottom of the air fryer basket.

  3. Spread an even layer of refried beans over the tortilla, followed by a layer of pre-cooked taco meat.

  4. Place a second flour tortilla directly on top of the meat and beans.

  5. Spread approximately 1/4 cup of taco sauce over the top tortilla, then sprinkle generously with shredded Mexican cheese.
    1 cup taco sauce (mild, medium, or hot), 3 cups shredded Mexican style cheese
  6. Close the air fryer and cook at 360 degrees F for 4 to 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Carefully remove the pizza using a large spatula, top with diced tomatoes, green onions, and black olives, and repeat for remaining pizzas.

Notes

For best results, do not overfill the tortillas to prevent sogginess and use a large spatula to remove the pizzas carefully. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer at 350 degrees F.
