Ingredients

1 large tortilla (flour or whole wheat)

1/2 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup pepperoni slices (or your favorite pizza toppings)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 tablespoon olive oil

Cooking spray (for air fryer)

Instructions

Prepare the Tortilla: Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface or parchment paper. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla, leaving about half an inch around the edges.

Add the Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, making sure to cover it evenly. Add the pepperoni slices or any other toppings of your choice. Finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.

Roll It Up: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Once it's fully rolled, gently press down to secure the filling.

Slice into Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into pinwheel bites about 1-inch thick. You should have about 8-10 pinwheels.

Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly brush the pinwheels with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray to help them crisp up during cooking.

Air Frying: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the pinwheel bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not crowded. You may need to work in batches.

Cook: Air fry the pinwheel bites for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time for even browning.

Serve: Once cooked, remove the pinwheel bites from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
