This quesadilla recipe really is a "no recipe recipe" because you can fill the quesadilla with whatever you want or have on hand. I used spinach and shredded chicken, but the options are endless. The air fryer helps produce a perfectly crispy quesadilla with melty cheese and it is ready in about 15 minutes. Top with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa if desired.

Directions

Mealthy Tip

Substitute whole wheat tortillas for the flour tortillas for a heartier flavor. Or use corn tortillas if you are looking for a gluten-free option.

Try other cheese varieties like Mexican cheese blend or mozzarella cheese instead of the Cheddar cheese.

Fill your quesadilla with your favorite ingredients. Try black beans and bell peppers instead of the spinach and chicken if you are vegetarian. Or sliced chicken sausage and kale are a good combination.

Jen the Mighty says:

Making quesadillas in the microwave has been our go-to, but you always get those microwaved hard-as-rocks places on the tortilla and the heating can be uneven. I'm love the airfryer for this now. What a perfect idea for this kid-favorite. Love.

Carol Wagner says:

So easy and delicious! You cannot go wrong! Ours needed about 5 minutes, not 10, so I suggest watching it carefully.

David White says:

400 degrees for 10 minutes? unfortunately, I followed this recipe blindly without using the device between my ears! do not cook a quesadilla in an airfryer for 10 minutes at 400 degrees. you will either have a huge mess to cleanup or burn down your house. this recipe is garbage.

Courtney Spencer says:

Horrible. How something so simple turn out horrible. Mine burnt in 6 minutes and cheese was burnt everywhere.

jalyn neri says:

Horrible, I didn't even let it cook for a minute and the tortilla is burning. Then I put it in again and next thing I know the air fryer has smoke coming out and the kitchen is in smoke.
