Servings: 2
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 medium flour tortillas (because life’s too short for corn tortillas that crack)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or whatever’s in your fridge)
- 1 cup cooked chicken or your favorite protein (leftovers, canned, or mystery meat—it all works)
- ½ cup veggies (optional, but hey, balance! Think bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms)
- 1 tsp taco seasoning (because plain chicken is sad chicken)
- Cooking spray or a little butter (because quesadillas without grease are a crime)
Instructions
- Prep Like a Boss:
- Toss your cooked chicken and taco seasoning in a bowl to spice it up.
- Lay two tortillas out like blank canvases for your masterpiece.
- Cheese: The Glue of Life
- Sprinkle half your cheese evenly over each tortilla. This is your foundation—don’t skimp.
- Add the seasoned chicken and veggies, spreading them out like you’re Picasso.
- Top with the rest of the cheese and the remaining tortillas.
- Air Fryer Magic:
- Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray. Don’t drown it; you’re not deep frying.
- Carefully place one quesadilla in the basket. (DO NOT try to stack them unless you like chaos.)
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 4 minutes. Flip with the grace of a ninja, then cook another 3–4 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Repeat:
- Remove the first quesadilla, resist eating it immediately, and cook the second one.
- Slice & Serve:
- Cut into triangles and serve with your favorite dips: salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Do’s and Don’ts
DO:
- Preheat the air fryer if you’re fancy (and patient).
- Use whatever you have—quesadillas don’t judge your leftovers.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper if you’re too lazy to scrub cheese later.
DON’T:
- Overfill your quesadilla unless you enjoy explosive tortilla disasters.
- Forget to flip. No one likes a burnt tortilla (except maybe the tortilla itself).
- Skip the cheese. No cheese = no quesadilla. That’s just math.
Enjoy your crispy, cheesy, no-fuss quesadillas. Perfect for lazy lunches, midnight snacks, or pretending you’re a culinary genius. 🧀
