Equipment

  • Air Fryer or Ninja Foodi
  • Tongs

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Shredded Chicken cooked
  • ½ tsp Taco Seasoning
  • 2 Flour Tortillas 6 or 8 inches
  • ½ cup Shredded Cheddar or other cheese
  • ½ tsp Cooking Oil Spray

Instructions

  • Turn your air fryer to 375F and preheat for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add 1/4 cup of shredded cheese to half of each tortilla. Spread it out evenly over the surface. Then, evenly distribute half of the shredded chicken on top of the cheese for each tortilla.
  • Add about one-quarter teaspoon of your favorite taco seasoning on top of the chicken evenly.
  • Fold each tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape.
  • Lightly brush each quesadilla with cooking oil on both sides. This will help to make them nice and crispy!
  • Place two quesadillas in the air fryer basket and cook for 3 minutes. Flip the quesadillas over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown, the chicken is warm, and the cheese is melted.
  • Use a spatula to remove the quesadillas from the air fryer and place on a plate. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or toppings. Enjoy!
