Keyword: how to make a quesadilla in the air fryer
Depending on the size of your tortillas/air fryer basket, either place a mixture of cheese on half the tortilla or the entire tortilla.
2 tortillas, 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Sprinkle with half the chicken.
1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken
Depending on the size of your tortillas/air fryer basket, either place another tortilla on top, or fold the tortilla in half.
Brush the top of the tortilla with a bit of olive oil and bake at 350˚F for 5 minutes. Some air fryers are so powerful that the top tortilla can "fly" off during cooking. You can weigh the quesadilla down with a metal trivet/rack, or hold everything together with a few toothpicks.
1/2 tsp olive oil
Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes if needed.
Cut into triangles and serve.
Notes
Some air fryers are so powerful that the top tortilla can "fly" off during cooking. You can weigh the quesadilla down with a metal trivet/rack, or hold everything together with a few toothpicks.
Depending on the size of your air fryer and tortillas, cooking time may vary. Start checking on your quesadilla around 3 minutes.
Skillet Instructions:
