π₯ Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend work well)
- 1/2 cup cooked and chopped chicken (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
πͺ Instructions
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. While the air fryer is heating up, prepare the quesadilla filling.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cooked and chopped chicken (if using), diced tomatoes, diced bell peppers, diced onions, olive oil, and taco seasoning. Mix everything together until the vegetables are coated in the seasoning and the chicken is evenly distributed.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle a quarter of the shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla, then spoon a quarter of the filling on top of the cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
- Carefully transfer the quesadilla to the air fryer basket, making sure that it is lying flat. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Air fry the quesadillas for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
- Use a spatula to remove the quesadillas from the air fryer basket and place them on a cutting board. Cut each quesadilla into four slices and serve hot.
