This is a fun and easy recipe for the whole family. For your base you can use pitta bread or homemade flatbreads or tortilla wraps (see tortilla technique below).
Ingredients
Passata or tomato puree or easy tomato sauce (1 tin of tomatoes,1 small onion/spring onion, 1-2 garlic cloves, dry/fresh herbs of your choice. Blitz together in a jug until smooth).
Or pesto
Toppings:
cheese (mozarella/cheddar), sliced mushrooms, peppers, courgettes, finely diced garlic, olives, shredded basil and/or rocket leaves
Method
1. Spread one side of your base with tomato sauce or pesto. Add your toppings (are you a cheese on top or veg on top person?)
2. Bake in a pre-heated air fryer or oven at 200 ºC for 5 minutes until the base is crisp and the cheese is bubbling.
3. For an authentic Italian touch, scatter shredded basil or rocket (or arugula as the Italians call it) over the top of the pizza.
Or some people add coleslaw instead!
Tortilla Pizza version
1. Put a little bit of oil in a frying pan.
2. When hot, place one tortilla in the pan.
3. When tortilla starts to brown, turn it over and spray top with a little oil.
4. Spread 1 – 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce over the tortilla but not right to the edges. Leave a ‘crust’ of about 2cms.
5. Sprinkle your toppings and grated cheese over the sauce.
6. Turn down the heat to medium and put a lid on to help the cheese melt.
7. When the cheese is melted and the bottom of the tortilla has browned, slide it out onto a plate. Don’t worry if it’s a bit floppy – it will crisp up as it cools.
8. Cut into pieces with a knife or scissors.

Top tip: you can also cook these in a hot oven. You don’t need to turn the tortillas over, just spray them with oil, put the sauce and topping on, and put them in the oven for 5 mins.
Some people use two tortilla with filling inbetween and on top!
