Air Fryer Quesadilla

This air fryer quesadilla is about as easy as it gets: melt cheese between two flour tortillas until golden and crisp. Ready in minutes, it makes a quick snack or light meal, and you can add chicken or beans for extra protein.

You Will Need

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 2 flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Step 1Place a damp paper towel over your tortillas for a few minutes, until they are pliable enough to fold. Then place 1/4 cup of cheese on half of each tortilla and fold the other half over the cheese.
  2. Step 2Place them in the air fryer and cook at 375°F for 4–6 minutes, until slightly brown. Flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions

Cooking tip: Put parchment paper or foil in the bottom of your air fryer to catch any cheese or oil — parchment also makes for easier clean-up. Nutrition fact: Adding chicken to your quesadilla can add extra protein. Substitution: For a lower-fat option, use fat-free or reduced-sodium cheese.
