Ingredients:

• 1 whole-wheat tortilla
• 2 tablespoons pizza sauce
• 1/4 cup Colby cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil

Instructions:

1. Prepare your air fryer by selecting the “Air Fry” function and adjusting the temperature to 390 degrees F. Press the “Start” key to initiate the preheating process.
2. While the air fryer heats up, gather the ingredients that make up the heart of our Classic Baked Tortilla. The combination of these elements promises a symphony of flavors reminiscent of a classic pizza.
3. Lay out the whole-wheat tortilla on a clean work surface. This tortilla serves as the canvas for your pizza-inspired creation, delivering a wholesome and slightly nutty flavor profile.
4. Spread the tortilla with a generous layer of pizza sauce. This step lays the foundation of your tortilla by infusing it with the rich, savory essence of tomato sauce—a hallmark of traditional pizzas.
5. Sprinkle the grated Colby cheese over the sauce-covered tortilla. The cheese brings a satisfying creaminess and indulgence to the dish, transforming each bite into a delightful experience.
6. Scatter the Kalamata olives over the cheese layer. These olives contribute a burst of tangy flavor that adds depth and character to your creation.
7. Sprinkle dried oregano and dried basil over the tortilla, introducing a fragrant aroma and the herbaceous notes that are synonymous with pizza.
8. Carefully transfer the prepared tortilla onto the air fryer tray. Prior to placing it on the tray, ensure that the tray is lightly greased with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote a crispy texture.
9. Slide the tray into the preheated air fryer and let the tortilla bake for approximately 4 minutes. During this time, the tortilla will start to crisp up and the cheese will melt to perfection.
10. After 4 minutes, flip the tortilla to ensure even cooking. Continue to bake for an additional 4 minutes, or until the tortilla reaches the desired level of crispness and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Once the tortilla is beautifully baked and visually appealing, carefully remove it from the air fryer with a sense of anticipation.
12. Serve the Classic Baked Tortilla immediately, allowing the steam to escape as you slice into it. Each bite offers a symphony of textures—from the crispy tortilla to the gooey cheese, the burst of olives, and the aromatic herbs.
