Delicious and quick chicken quesadillas made effortlessly in an air fryer.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Monterey Jack
- 1 cup bell pepper diced
- 0.5 cup onion diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder for flavor
- 1 teaspoon cumin for flavor
- 4 large flour tortillas or corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for brushing
- 0.5 cup sour cream for serving
- 0.5 cup salsa for serving
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, shredded cheese, diced bell pepper, diced onion, garlic powder, and cumin. Mix well.
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the chicken mixture on half of each tortilla.
- Fold the tortillas over to create a half-moon shape, pressing down gently to seal.
- Brush both sides of each quesadilla with olive oil to ensure a crispy texture.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Place the quesadillas in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
Serve warm with sour cream and salsa. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a crispy finish.
