AIR FRYER QUESADILLAS
EQUIPMENT:
-
1 Air Fryer
INGREDIENTS:
- 2-4Â flour tortillas
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Remove tortillas from packaging and spray one side of each tortilla with cooking spray.
- Place each tortilla in air fryer basket, sprayed or brushed side down.
- Spread a thin layer of shredded cheese, and optional toppings on top of tortilla.
- Fold each tortilla in half and gently press together or seal them with a toothpick.
- Air fry at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, flipping the tortilla halfway through cooking time, until you have a crispy tortilla that is golden brown. After two minutes of air frying, open basket and if tortillas have opened, gently press together. The melted cheese will now keep them sealed.
