Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza with BBQ Chicken

A quick and easy way to use grilled chicken leftovers and transform them into the most delicious quick meal!

Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza with BBQ Chicken: quick, crispy, and incredibly delicious, ready to be served in just under 10′! In this version, we replace the traditional pizza dough with flour tortillas to reduce cooking time and calories.

Most of the time, when we roast a whole chicken, we end up not knowing what to do with the leftovers. In most cases, after having spent hours searching for the perfect recipe, we get tired and the leftovers end up as waste.

With this air fryer tortilla pizza recipe, we use our chicken leftovers in the most delicious way! We combine our chicken with our favorite BBQ sauce, roasted onions, and mozzarella cheese, serving it on the crispiest pizza base made with tortilla. The best part? Our pizza is ready to be served straight out from our air fryer in just 5 minutes!

Some tips for the recipe:

Recipe Ingredients:

In this recipe, we have used chicken leftovers from a previous meal. If you plan to use the same method, please note that the pieces of chicken used shouldn’t have been cooked with too many or intense spices. In case you don’t have any leftovers or want to replace the chicken you can use some bacon and ham instead.

If you want to add additional ingredients to your recipe (i.e. mushrooms, peppers), they should be cut into small pieces to cook properly in such a short time. Otherwise, you can air-fry them for 2-3 minutes and add them semi-cooked to your pizza.

How to Cook Tortilla Pizza in the Air Fryer:

Always preheat your air fryer before cooking, no matter if the manufacturer’s instructions mention to do so.

Depending on the size of our air fryer, we choose small or large tortillas. If the tortilla is larger than the fryer basket, we can either cut it around the edges or fold the edges. For baking, we set the air fryer to 180°C and cook for 5-6 minutes.

If you modify the recipe ingredients and it doesn’t have enough “heavy” ingredients to hold it down, place a rack that fits in your air fryer’s basket on top of the pizza to prevent it from being lifted by the air.
