Perfectly crisp outside and a gooey, cheesy inside! This recipe for a crispy air fryer quesadilla makes a quick meal that both adults and kids will love!

~1/4 cup veggiesoptional; I'm using bell pepper, onion and tomato
~1/4 cup protein source beans/shredded or ground meat/ eggs /etcoptional, I am using beans
Toothpicks
Instructions
Take your tortilla and place 1/2 of the cheese on one side.
Then, place your veggies and protein (beans, chicken, etc) on top of the cheese.
Add remaining cheese on top and fold the tortilla in half, using a toothpick or two to close.
Place your quesadilla into your air fryer basket that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick spray. Optional: Place your air fryer rack on top to prevent it from opening, as well.
Cook at 370 for 5 minutes until cheese is melted thoroughly.
Remove from the air fryer, place on a cutting board and cut into triangles.
May use any type of tortilla, but I find flour works best.May use smaller taco or fajita sized tortillas, but be sure to use toothpicks to keep the tortillas in place.
