Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 soft tortilla shells (I used the soft taco size)
  • 8-10 ounces of cooked (shredded, or cubed chicken)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 cup of shredded cheese (I used ½ cup sharp cheddar and ½ cup mozzarella)
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • ¼ cup chopped tomatoes

Instruction

  • I purchased a rotisserie chicken from Costco. Their chicken comes seasoned and is free of hormones and steroids. I shredded portions of the breast and legs.
  • Season the chicken with the chili powder and cumin. If you aren’t using cooked rotisserie you will have to season the chicken with salt and pepper as well.
  • Line the air fryer with a tortilla shell. I didn’t have to use any oil in the basket and the quesadilla did not stick to the basket. (Note: I have tested this recipe using an air fryer parchment paper liner and find it works best to go without the liner. The liner made it harder to flip the quesadilla)
  • Add ½ cup of cheese to the tortilla. (If you are using multiple types of cheese, be sure to mix them.)
  • I added the remaining ingredients in the following order: Onion, tomatoes, and then the chicken.
  • Top with 1 additional tortilla.
  • Cook for 3 minutes on 370 degrees.
  • Open the air fryer and flip the quesadilla. I found the easiest way to do this, was to use a spatula and remove the quesadilla and place it on a plate. I flipped it on the plate and added it back to the air fryer.
  • Cook for an additional 3 minutes. Use your judgment. You want to cook it long enough so that the cheese melts. For crunchy quesadillas, cook them longer.
  • Remove the quesadilla from the air fryer. Slice and serve.
