  • 4 oz. shredded chicken ~1 cup
  • ¼ cup salsa or sauce of choice
  • 2 8-inch flour tortillas

Toppings

  • Salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF and spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with your sauce of choice.
  3. To assemble the quesadillas lay the tortillas onto a flat surface. Spread ½ cup of the chicken mixture on one side of each tortilla. Next add ½ cup of the shredded cheese on top of the chicken. Fold over the tortilla and secure the edges with 4 toothpicks.
  4. Place the quesadilla in the air fryer and then lightly spray them with nonstick cooking spray. Air fry for 6 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • We do not recommend using corn tortillas. We tested this recipe using corn tortillas but they kept falling apart.
  • Any melty cheese would work here, but I like Monterey Jack.
  • Hamburger or refried black beans can easily be subbed. We would suggest refried beans over regular beans as regular beans would just fall out.
