Ingredients

Quesadilla
2 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
Cooking spray
Optional Add-Ins & Serving
Sliced jalapeños
Diced green chiles
Sautéed onions and peppers
Sour cream
Guacamole
Salsa

Equipment

  • Oil Sprayer Mister

Steps

  1. 1

    Spread cheese evenly over one half of each tortilla. Add any optional fillings.

  2. 2

    Fold tortillas in half. Spray both sides with cooking spray.

  3. 3

    Air fry at 375°F for 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway, until tortilla is golden and crispy and cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Let cool 1 minute before cutting into wedges.

  5. 5

    Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

💡

Tip: Spray the outside of the tortilla — that's what makes it restaurant-crispy instead of just heated. Don't overstuff or cheese oozes out everywhere. A mix of cheeses (Oaxaca, cheddar, Monterey Jack) melts better than a single cheese.
