    🥘 Ingredients

    As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    Flour tortillas, smaller sizes work best to fit in air fryer baskets. I love these low carb flour tortillas.

    Butter

    Shredded cheese, I find the best cheese is Monterey jack, Mexican cheese blend, mozzarella cheese, or cheddar cheese.

    Favorite toppings for quesadillas

    Butter, shredded yellow cheese, and two flour tortillas.
    Just 3 ingredients are needed for this simple recipe. Swap out cooking spray for butter to reduce the fat.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Spread one side of the tortilla with butter and place in the air fryer basket or on an air fryer tray.
    2. Sprinkle shredded cheese on the bottom half of the tortilla.
    3. Place the top tortilla on top of the cheese, butter side up.
    4. Place the basket in the air fryer and cook for 2 minutes. Remove basket and carefully flip tortilla over. Return to the air fryer and cook for another 2 minutes, until cheese melts and tortilla has browned.
    5. Remove quesadilla from the air fryer and place on a cutting board. With a chef knife or pizza cutter, cut each tortilla into 4-6 sections.

    🥄 Equipment

    Air fryer

    Chef knife or pizza cutter for cutting the quesadilla

    Turner

    Flour tortilla topped with shredded cheese.
    Use any of your favorite melty cheese to make this air fryer quesadillas recipe!

    🥫Storage

    Store any leftover air fryer quesadillas in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days. These can be reheated easily with just a minute or two in the air fryer.

    📖 Variations

    • Use cooking spray in place of butter to reduce fat and calories
    • Use corn tortillas in place of flour tortillas
    • Add shredded chicken, ground beef, or spread a layer of black beans or refried beans on the tortilla before sprinkling with cheese.
    • Include any of your favorite fillings

    💭 Tips

    • Be sure to watch the quesadillas carefully if using an air fryer with trays. It will brown quickly the closer to the top of the air fryer the quesadilla is. If making more than one at a time, be sure to rotate the trays after 1 minute.
    • Cooking time will vary depending on what type of air fryer you are using. Basket air fryers and tray air fryers work differenty.
