This air fryer quesadilla recipe is the best and only way to prepare a quesadilla. You'll enjoy how easy it is to prepare a quesadilla in just minutes, with a wonderfully crisp tortilla on the exterior and cheese bliss on the inside!
Making quesadillas in the air fryer is truly life-changing! They cook uniformly, the melty cheese is wonderful, and the tortilla has a crispy golden texture, resulting in a restaurant-quality quesadilla. This quick evening supper includes salsa, rice, and beans.
What Exactly Is An Air Fryer Quesadilla
Two basic ingredients make a traditional Mexican quesadilla. All you need are cheese and tortillas, and the air fryer handles the rest! Everyone enjoys a cheesy, crunchy, and warm quesadilla for a snack, lunch, or anytime of day. Follow my suggestions below for ways to make this a heartier dinner by using meat, vegetables, or beans.
Quesadillas can also be used as an appetizer or side dish with any dinner. They are an excellent after-school snack, but they also go well with supper. Serve quesadillas with taco or tortilla soup for a kid-approved meal. I frequently serve them as a side dish with this amazing avocado chicken!
