Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your choice)
- 1 cup cooked chicken, beef, or beans (optional)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers or onions (optional)
- Cooking spray or olive oil for brushing
- Salsa or sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Gather your tortillas, cheese, and any additional fillings you’d like to use.
- Fill the Quesadillas: Place half of each tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle a generous amount of cheese on each and add your choice of protein or veggies on top. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
- Air Fry the Quesadillas: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray or brush both sides of the quesadillas with cooking spray or olive oil. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before cutting into wedges. Serve with salsa or sour cream for dipping.
