Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 2 pieces 8-inch flour tortillas You can also use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 cup Colby-jack cheese (shredded) Feel free to substitute with your favorite cheese.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Sprinkle the cheese on top of each tortilla, then fold the tortilla in half.
  • Divide the cheese between each tortilla, using more or less according to your taste.

Cooking

  • Carefully place the folded tortillas in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook at 350° Fahrenheit for 3 minutes.
  • Flip the quesadillas and continue to cook for an additional 3 minutes, or cook longer to your desired crispiness.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy with toppings on the side.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor, especially when it comes to the cheese. Experiment with different types of cheese or add other fillings like cooked chicken, beans, or vegetables for a heartier quesadilla. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer to restore crispiness.
