Ingredients

  • 1 large flour tortilla
  • 2/3 cup full fat shredded cheese I used Mexican blend
  • ~1/4 cup veggies optional; I'm using bell pepper, onion and tomato
  • ~1/4 cup protein source beans/shredded or ground meat/ eggs /etc optional, 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.
  • Enjoy! Serve with a side of 2 minute avocado lime cream!

Notes

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.
