Air-Fried Quesadillas with Chicken and Cheese

Air-fried quesadillas with chicken and cheese offer a crispy texture and a savory filling, using an air fryer for convenience.

Ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1/4 cup salsa
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
2. Lay out the tortillas. On one half of each tortilla, spread an even layer of shredded chicken and cheddar cheese.
3. Drizzle a thin line of salsa over the chicken and cheese.
4. Fold the tortillas in half, pressing gently to seal.
5. Lightly brush both sides of each quesadilla with olive oil.
6. Place quesadillas in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook for 5 minutes.
7. Flip the quesadillas and continue to cook for an additional 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Carefully remove from the air fryer, slice into wedges, and serve with extra salsa or sour cream.
