My faculty days are long gone. They usually had been by no means actually that loopy to start with. However recall being younger: You have stayed up late, in all probability had like three too many, you are hungry however able to making solely essentially the most fundamental meals.
When you’re in that (altered) mind-set, then this viral TikTok recipe for a tortilla pizza is pure gold. It’s good trash, drunk meals, and I imply that as a praise. The video, posted to TikTok by @adriannamagnone, racked up greater than 10 million views.
It is seemingly geared toward low-carb dieters — swapping tortillas for crust — however actually it is best to think about this as an inexpensive, gooey, fatty, easy meal. It isn’t wholesome or actually even that tasty. However it’s someway nonetheless good. A type of stuff you type of hate your self for loving.
Anyway, here is what it’s essential to know to make the recipe.
Substances
-
2 flour tortillas

Shredded mozzarella cheese, roughly 1 cup

1 clove of garlic, minced

The small print
That is easy stuff. Very similar to different TikTok air fryer recipes, it is a fast, hacky recipe. The one actual change I would counsel is that you simply add your minced garlic instantly into the oil, that means you sweep the tortilla with garlic and oil all of sudden. To be sincere, neither the oil or the garlic was actually even all that crucial, so if you wish to skip that step fully, it’s very cool. You will simply miss out on the slight garlic bread vibe.
In any other case this recipe is unimaginable to mess up. Make a quesadilla in your air fryer. Prime it with sauce. Then drop on extra cheese, some herbs, and air fry.
The top product is fairly much like a fast-food, thin-crust pizza. Suppose Domino’s at 1 a.m. The tortillas are cracker-thin and crisp, the cheese is overflowing, the sauce, as a result of it is store-bought, is nearly assuredly too candy. You get the vibe of consuming pizza whereas additionally realizing you’re really consuming an abomination. I think about it would be good for me at 21 after guzzling a few half-dozen Natty Bo’s. It’d in all probability even be nice for teenagers, as a result of drunk folks and kids have the same palate.
However, even whereas lifeless sober in the midst of the day, I used to be fairly stunned how a lot I appreciated this recipe. Certain, it is fundamental. However what’s there to dislike about melty cheese and crispy tortillas? I even appreciated that the six minutes of prepare dinner time burned the highest layer of cheese a bit. It jogged my memory of nostalgic, not nice pizza you’d get at a youngsters’ party. Here is what my closing product seemed like. It was fairly equivalent to the supply materials.
What’s to not like?

I am not saying this recipe will quickly make its means into my dinner rotation like different AirFryDay recipes — my chicken sandwich and wings recipes come to thoughts — however it actually is not dangerous. Who is aware of? Perhaps someday I am going to really feel much less…outdated…and hit the bars. I am going to get house at 1 a.m. and all I am going to have is a few tortillas, sauce, and cheese. And I am going to know precisely what to make.
