Pizza Enchiladas (Air Fryer Recipe)
This fusion dish combines the cheesy goodness of pizza with the rolled, saucy format of enchiladas. Each tortilla is filled with classic pizza toppings—pepperoni, cheese, and sauce—then rolled, topped with more cheese and sauce, and air-fried until bubbly and crisp. It’s the ultimate mash-up comfort meal!
