Make this EASY Air Fryer Mexican Pizza for a quick, simple weeknight meal!
Are you ready for an easy dinner tonight? These Air Fryer Mexican Pizzas will quickly be a go-to weeknight meal in your household, I promise!
These pizzas use flour tortillas along with a variety of toppings and then you can easily assemble them and cook them right in your air fryer, Ninja Foodi, or Ninja Speedi.
Tips for Making Air Fryer Mexican Pizza:
The base or sauce for this pizza will be red enchilada sauce instead of pizza sauce.
Also, be sure to remember that you will need to cook the meat as well before air frying the pizzas. We like to use leftover taco meat to make these after a taco night. It’s a great way to use up extra.
If you do not have extra, simply use the skillet to brown the ground beef. If you are using a Ninja Foodi then you can use the pot of the Ninja Foodi and the SAUTE function to brown the ground beef.
These are very simple to customize with a variety of toppings such as black olives, green onions, sour cream, and salsa.
If you want to make them spicy, add some taco sauce or jalapeno.
Can you reheat Mexican Pizza in the Air Fryer?
These can be re-heated at 330*F for 3-4 minutes.
Of course, this can be done with the pizzas from this recipe but even your Taco Bell Mexican Pizza can be reheated in the same way!
They can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days after they’ve fully cooled following cooking as well.
What goes with Mexican Pizza?
Mexican Pizza can be served with fresh-cut vegetables or Air Fryer Mexican Street Corn.

- Mix together the refried beans and sour cream.

Notes
Nutrition
I have a problem with getting the flour or corn tortillas warm or crisp when making a wrap. So I was very happy to see you warm them in the air fryer at 330 degrees for 2-3 minutes under a trivet . Hopefully that step will come in handy at other times for me too. I appreciate the details in your recipes since I am a very unconfident cook!
Looks very good- just not quite as “fast and Easy” as I prefer!
