Air Fryer Quesadilla Recipe
A melty, crispy air fryer cheese quesadilla that you can whip up in just 5 minutes! Learn how to make a quesadilla in the air fryer with your favorite fillings.
Ingredients
Cheese Quesadilla
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1-2 tsp melted butter (or cooking spray)
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Additional Filling Ideas:
- cooked chicken or beef
- refried beans, or beans of choice
- chopped bell peppers
- chopped tomatoes
- sliced onions
- sliced mushrooms
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 370°F (185°C).
- Spray one side of each tortilla with cooking spray, or brush with melted butter.
- Flip so the oiled/buttered side is facing down. Fill each tortilla with shredded cheese and fold in half. (If adding additional fillings, have some cheese on the bottom and some on top of the fillings, so they’re sandwiched between cheese to “glue” the tortilla together.)
- Transfer both assembled quesadillas to preheated air fryer. Add a metal trivet on top so the tortillas don’t fly open during cooking. (You can also hold the tortillas closed with soaked toothpicks.)
- Cook for 4-6 minutes. (Flip halfway through, if desired. I didn’t flip mine and they turned out great!)
- Cut into slices and enjoy!
