FAQs
What is the best cheese to add to this pizza recipe?
All cheese melts, but they don’t all have the same flavor! I love adding Mexican cheese but don’t forget that the most classic cheese to add is mozzarella. You can place whatever type of cheese on top of the tortilla and let the whole family pick and choose their own cheese toppings.
Can I use corn tortillas for this recipe?
For this perfect pizza quesadilla, a flour tortilla works best. This is because it crisps up and holds its own quite well, without the worry of becoming soggy or breaking during the cooking process.
Can I reheat leftovers in the air fryer?
