Equipment

Air Fryer or Ninja Foodi
Tongs

Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
1 package taco seasoning mix
½ cup water
8 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it's no longer pink.
Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the skillet and stir well to combine. Cook until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.
Preheat your air fryer or ninja foodi to 375°F.
Take a tortilla and place it on a flat surface. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture onto one side of the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edge.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over the beef mixture.
Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape.
Repeat steps 4-6 with the remaining tortillas, beef mixture, and cheese.
Spray the air fryer basket or ninja foodi with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the quesadillas in the air fryer basket or ninja foodi in a single layer, making sure they're not touching each other.
Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the quesadillas are golden brown and crispy.
Use tongs to remove the quesadillas from the air fryer basket or ninja foodi and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
