Easy Air Fryer Quesadilla
How to make an air fryer quesadilla that's crispy, cheesy, and oh so easy to make! And, it's done within 15 minutes!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Spread ½ cup of cheese evenly over half of the tortilla, sprinkle with cumin and pepper, then fold the empty half of the tortilla over the cheese. Repeat with the remaining tortilla.
- Place the tortillas in the air fryer basket, spray the tortillas lightly with cooking spray, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes at 350 degrees F. After 3 minutes of cooking, flip and press the top of each quesadilla down with a spatula, until they are golden and crispy.
- Remove the quesadillas, cut in thirds, and serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the basket. Overlapping tortillas keeps them from getting golden and crunchy.
- If the quesadillas aren’t golden brown and crispy after 5-6 minutes, cook them for 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
- Flip the quesadillas halfway through cooking. This helps both sides get evenly browned.
- I cut my quesadillas with a pizza cutter on a cutting board for clean, even slices.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers in a preheated air fryer at 350 degrees F for about 2-3 minutes.
