Yields: 1 personal-sized pizza (2 tortillas) Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 6-8 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 low-carb tortillas (ensure they are keto-friendly, such as almond flour or coconut flour-based, about 8-inch diameter)
• 1-2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened or melted
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• Optional toppings:
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free pizza sauce or marinara
  • ¼ cup cooked, crumbled sausage or pepperoni slices
  • Sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, or diced onions
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
  • Red pepper flakes, dried oregano, or Italian seasoning

Equipment:

• Air fryer
• Pastry brush or small spoon (for butter)

Instructions:

1. Prep First Tortilla: Place one low-carb tortilla on a plate or clean surface.
   • Spread a thin layer of softened butter evenly over one side of the tortilla.
   • Sprinkle generously with garlic powder.
   • Add about half (¼ cup) of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the entire surface of this tortilla.
2. Layer Second Tortilla: Carefully place the second low-carb tortilla directly on top of the first, pressing down gently.
3. Prep Top Layer: Spread the remaining butter evenly over the top of this second tortilla.
   • Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
   • Now, add your desired toppings! If using pizza sauce, spread it lightly over the cheese first, then add other toppings like pepperoni, vegetables, or Parmesan cheese.
4. Air Fry: Carefully transfer the layered tortilla pizza to your air fryer basket.
   • Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, the toppings are heated through, and the tortilla crust is crispy. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and desired crispness.
5. Cool & Serve: Carefully remove the pizza from the air fryer basket. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy immediately!
