Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Spread the chipotle sauce thin to prevent a soggy crust; reserve some for drizzling after cooking.
Divide the cheese blend and sprinkle half before toppings and half on top for even melting and browning.
Air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, checking at 6 minutes to avoid overcooking the pita edges.
Shred or chop al pastor chicken into small pieces so it crisps slightly during cooking.

Substitutions

Plain Greek yogurt + cottage cheese → sour cream mixed with mayo (tangier, less protein)
Chipotle peppers in adobo → sriracha or hot sauce (spicier, loses smoky depth)
Pita bread (7-inch) → naan or small flour tortilla (thicker crust, longer cook time)
Mexican cheese blend → mozzarella + cotija (milder, crumbles less)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes to restore crispness.
