  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 quesadilla 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 1/4 cup diced onion (optional)
  • 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons salsa or your favorite sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, diced onion, diced bell pepper (if using), salsa or your favorite sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over half of the tortilla. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
  • Prepare the Air Fryer: Lightly brush or spray the outside of the quesadilla with olive oil or cooking spray. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Air Fry the Quesadilla: Carefully place the quesadilla in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  • Serve and Enjoy!: Carefully remove the quesadilla from the air fryer basket. Let it cool for a minute or two before slicing it into wedges. Serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or extra salsa.
