Ingredients

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Half packet of pepperoni ~3 oz of pepperoni total, I used a vegan version
1 tablespoon Trader Joe's Pizza seasoning plus more for topping (or sub for a mixxture of Italian seasoning + garlic powder)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon water
4 burrito tortillas large, cut in half
Optional marinara for serving

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together the mozzarella, pepperoni, and seasoning. Set aside.
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, Half packet of pepperoni, 1 tablespoon Trader Joe's Pizza seasoning
Make your "glue" by mixing together the flour + water.
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon water
Taking one tortilla half at a time, fold one side over to the middle and then fold the other side over top of that to create a cone. Brush some of the "glue" along the side edge and press to seal (see video for reference).
4 burrito tortillas
Fill the cone 2/3 of the way full with the cheese mixture. Add more glue to the top of the tortilla and lay it flay on a clean surface. Use a form to piece the edges shut. Press firmly so that the pizza pocket is fully sealed. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Working in batches, place the pizza pockets into the air fryer and spray both sides with cooking spray. Top with additional seasoning as desired. Cook at 400 degrees F for 6 minutes. Repeat with remaining pizza pockets and enjoy!
Optional marinara for serving

Notes

the pizza seasoning is totally optional and not totally necessary. I tested these with just a little garlic powder sprinkled in and they were still delicious!
