Air Fryer Quesadillas
Using my Air Fryer has become a way of life in our house. Obviously we knew it was great at frozen foods like fries or tots, but did you know it makes an excellent quesadilla, too? I was fixing up our buffalo chicken quesadilla recipe when I realized we had no butter, so I figured I should give the air fryer a shot! Turns out, yep… You get the perfect quesadilla with crunchy edges in just 10 minutes with the air fryer!
Ingredients in Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla
As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients used in our Air Fryer Quesadilla. For the complete recipe, just scroll to the bottom of the page.
- Tortillas- I used medium size
- Chicken- shredded
- Mozzarella and blue cheese
- Buffalo sauce
How to make Quesadilla in Air Fryer
This easy weeknight meal takes only a couple of minutes! First, preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees F. Next, combine your chicken, cheese and buffalo sauce and mix well. Add your mixed ingredients to your tortilla and put in the air fryer. Cook at 370 for 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes and you’re done!
How long to cook Quesadillas in Air Fryer
I cooked my air fryer quesadillas for 4 minutes on one side and 4 minutes on the other, but if you prefer yours to be a little more browned, you could cook for 5 minutes on each side.
Best cheese for quesadillas
I used mozzarella and blue cheese in my chicken quesadilla, but you could use your favorite variety! Pepperjack, meunster, a Mexican blend, cheddar, or colby jack would all be delicious.
What to serve with this buffalo chicken quesadilla
First off, drinks! I enjoyed this easy dinner recipe with a Keto Margarita, but if you enjoy a little more kick, try this Spicy Watermelon Keto Margarita! If you prefer a non-alcoholic drink, try this Sugar Free Lemonade or Sparkling Pineapple Strawberry Punch. Seasoned Black Beans are an easy and nutritious side dish for this Mexican inspired meal. Sweet Corn Salad or Smoked Queso are always hits around our house! For dessert, try this Pina Colada Soft Serve or Lime Popsicles!
How to Store and Reheat this Air Fryer Quesadilla
To store this chicken quesadilla, just place in a plastic or glass container (or a plastic bag) and keep in the fridge. This quesadilla will stay good for up to three days. To reheat, just pop back into the air fryer for 2 minutes at 350. You can also warm in the microwave.
