01 - Preheat oven to 400°F or air fryer to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if using oven method.

03 - Divide mozzarella cheese evenly among tortillas. Top with pepperoni or mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, red onion, oregano, and garlic powder, distributing ingredients uniformly.
04 - Fold in the left and right edges of each tortilla toward the center. Starting from the bottom edge, roll up tightly burrito-style to completely enclose the filling.
05 - Lightly brush or spray the outside of each burrito with olive oil to promote even browning and crisping.
06 - Place burritos seam-side down on prepared baking sheet for oven method, or arrange in a single layer in air fryer basket without overcrowding.
07 - Oven method: Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy throughout. Air fryer method: Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping burritos halfway through cooking time, until exterior is crisp and filling is heated through.
08 - Remove from heat. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- You get all the comfort of pizza without waiting for dough to rise or dealing with sticky flour everywhere
- The oven gives them that golden crunch while the air fryer makes them ridiculously fast for weeknight dinners
02 -
- Overfilling leads to bursting seams during baking, so resist the urge to stuff them like traditional burritos
- Flipping halfway through in the air fryer prevents one side from staying too soft while the other burns
03 -
- Warming the tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave makes them more pliable and less likely to crack
- Place the burritos seam side down and do not flip them in the oven to keep them sealed
