Ingredients

  • 2 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded or chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup onion thinly sliced
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  • In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken, shredded cheese, bell peppers, and onion. Give it a gentle toss so everything is evenly mixed. This ensures every bite is loaded with flavor.

Step 2: Assemble the Quesadilla

  • Lay one tortilla flat and spread the filling evenly over half of it. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape. Lightly press down so it holds together.

Step 3: Preheat and Spray

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes. Spray both sides of the quesadilla with a light coat of olive oil spray—this helps it turn golden and crisp.

Step 4: Air Fry to Perfection

  • Place the quesadilla in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

  • Let the quesadilla rest for 1–2 minutes before slicing into wedges. This helps keep the filling from spilling out. Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.
