Cooking time is around 7–10 minutes. After the first 7 minutes, check the pizza crusts! Do not rush this part for a cheesy finish.
One of the most common mistakes is adding too many toppings. While it’s tempting to load it up, too much moisture can prevent the tortilla from crisping properly. Keep your toppings light so the base holds its shape and cooks evenly.
If your tortilla isn’t crisping enough, it usually comes down to airflow and heat. Make sure it sits flat in the air fryer basket and isn’t overcrowded. Preheating also makes a difference in getting that quick, even cook.
The cheese-stuffed edges need to be sealed well. If they open while cooking, the cheese can melt out too quickly. Rolling the tortilla tightly over the cheese and securing it properly helps maintain the shape.
For best texture:
• Use low moisture mozzarella so it melts without releasing too much liquid
• Slice ingredients like tomatoes thin to avoid excess water
• Don’t skip the egg wash if you want a more structured crust
If you’re using a different cooking method, the same concept applies. In the oven, place it on a preheated tray so the bottom starts crisping immediately. A skillet can also work, but cook on medium heat and cover briefly to melt the cheese without burning the base.
Let it sit for a minute after cooking before removing the toothpicks. This helps the structure set and keeps everything in place when serving.

Don’t let the grocery store fool you asparagus has a season (and it’s not the middle of August). Spring is prime time for these green stalks, when they’re at their bright, perky, taut-skinned best. Grilled until lightly charred and tender, they take on a smoky depth that pairs beautifully with a rich, nutty tahini sauce. The result is a simple yet elevated dish that feels fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor perfect for showcasing asparagus at its absolute peak.
1 bunch thick asparagus (about 1 lb.), woody ends trimmed
Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
3 oil-packed anchovy fillets
1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
¼ cup mayonnaise (such as Duke’s)
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp. tahini
1 lemon (optional)
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Place 1 bunch thick asparagus (about 1 lb.), woody ends trimmed, in a large bowl and lightly drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper and toss to coat.
Grill asparagus, turning once or twice, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer back to bowl. (Alternatively, cook asparagus in a large pot of boiling generously salted water until dark green and just crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, immediately transfer to a large bowl of ice water and let sit 1 minute. Transfer to a kitchen towel and pat dry.)
Using the flat side of a chef’s knife, smash together 3 oil-packed anchovy fillets and 1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped, on a cutting board to make a paste. (Alternatively, you can smash in a mortar and pestle.) Transfer paste to a small bowl, ¼ cup mayonnaise, 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp. tahini, and whisk until creamy. Season tahini mayo with salt and pepper.
Spoon tahini mayo onto a platter and place grilled asparagus alongside for dipping. Finely grate zest from 1 lemon over asparagus if desired and season with more pepper.
If you’re grilling, roasting, or steaming asparagus, or otherwise planning to serve them whole, look for thick spears.
The ratio of fiber to sweet tender flesh is better distributed than their pencil-thin (though admittedly elegant) siblings, and for the purposes of grilling, they’re easier to manipulate with less risk of falling through the grates.
Save skinny asparagus for stir-fries, sautés, or other situations in which they’ll be sliced up.
The season is short-lived, so the rules are straightforward: Cook asparagus simply and often, and serve it with something salty and fatty to offset its sweet, nutty grassiness.
This tahini mayo is an instant favorite that checks all the boxes. It’s veritable super sauce as silky as hollandaise, with the anchovy-garlic sharpness of bagna cauda, both classic pairings for asparagus.
The rest of the year serve the sauce with radishes or cucumbers to dip into, pooled under tomatoes, alongside breaded chicken, or tossed with kale as a sort of tahini Caesar.

A common mistake here is overcrowding the pan when cooking the beef. This causes it to steam instead of brown, which means less flavor and a softer texture. If needed, cook it in batches so you get that proper browning.
Another thing to watch is overcooking the beef. Leaving it on the heat too long will dry it out and make it crumbly instead of juicy. Once it’s browned, take it off the heat.
The sauce is simple, but balance matters. If it tastes flat, it usually needs a bit more acidity. A splash of pickle juice can bring everything together without needing more salt.
For the best texture, how you assemble the bowl makes a difference. Mixing part of the sauce with the veggies helps coat everything evenly, while keeping some for the top gives you that creamy finish.
Let the cooked beef rest for a couple of minutes before adding it to the bowl. This helps keep it juicy and prevents excess moisture from watering down the veggies.
