WHAT MAKES THIS AIR FRYER QUESADILLA SO GOOD?
- This is an easy meal that the entire family will love and it is thrown together pretty quickly! You can adjust the toppings based upon each family member's likes and dislikes!
- Minimal ingredients, we are just using tortilla and cheese, but the sky is the limit for adding in what you like!

- They are mega cheese and oh so delicious! Make it even better with a side of Sauteed Kale and Potatoes.
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR THIS AIR FRYER QUESADILLA
- Fly away tortillas - Depending on your air fryer, there is a chance that the fan in the unit will try to blow the top off of your quesadilla. No worries, I have you covered. Use a small trivet to hold your tortillas down in the air fryer. If you don’t have that, just use a couple of toothpicks. This tip works well for any sandwich type item you cook in the air fryer.
- Tortilla Size - Be sure not to buy super big burrito sized tortilla for this, they will probably not fit in your air fryer!
- Cheese Please - switch up the type of cheese you use! Anything goes! Think: sharp cheddar, Mexican cheese, mozzarella and more!
