Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Lay your four tortillas flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one side of each tortilla. Add protein or veggies and top with remaining cheese before folding each tortilla in half.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Lightly spray both sides of each folded quesadilla with cooking spray before placing them in the air fryer basket.
  4. Cook the quesadillas in the air fryer for about 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
  5. Once cooked, remove the quesadillas and let them rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve with dipping sauces.
