Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 8-inch flour tortillas
- 1 cup Colby-Jack cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Prepare the tortillas: Sprinkle the shredded Colby-Jack cheese evenly over half of each 8-inch flour tortilla. Fold each tortilla in half to enclose the cheese, adjusting the amount of cheese according to your preference.
- Air fry the quesadillas: Carefully place the folded tortillas into the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook the quesadillas for 3 minutes.
- Flip and continue cooking: After 3 minutes, flip each quesadilla using tongs or a spatula to ensure even cooking. Return them to the air fryer and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the air fryer and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite toppings or dips such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for added flavor.
Notes
- Adjust the cheese quantity to your taste preference.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- Check the quesadillas after 6 minutes total cooking time and cook longer if needed for preferred crispiness.
- Use a non-stick spray lightly on the air fryer basket if concerned about sticking.
- Try adding fillings like cooked chicken, beans, or vegetables for a heartier version.
