Ingredients

4 small flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Mexican blend)
1/2 cup cooked chicken, shredded (optional)
1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
1/4 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking spray or oil for greasing

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
Place two tortillas on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over each tortilla.
If desired, layer on the cooked chicken, diced onions, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Top each tortilla with the remaining two tortillas to form quesadillas.
Lightly grease the air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray or oil.
Carefully transfer the quesadillas to the air fryer basket or tray, making sure they are not overlapping.
Air fry the quesadillas at 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
