Easy Air Fryer Quesadilla
A 5 minute and 3 ingredient recipe that gives you an easy meal!
Servings: 4 people
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 8 8-inch tortillas (or smaller depending on the size of your air fryer)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella, oaxaca, or monterey jack cheese
- 1/2 cup refried beans
- Olive oil or oil spray
Optional additions & Toppings
- Add ins - Chopped cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, chopped spinach, green onions
- Toppings - green onions, radish, jalapenos, cilantro, salsa, sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans on one side of a tortilla. Top with about 1/2 cup of cheese. Place another tortilla on top. Lightly brush both sides with oil or spray.
- Air fry at 360F for about 4 min on the first side - place the tortilla in the air fryer with the bean side on top otherwise the top tortilla may blow off (this helps it weigh down)! Flip and air fry another 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy.
- Remove the quesadilla and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Cut into triangles and serve with salsa and sour cream.
- If adding vegetables - add about 1/3 cup of mixed vegetables between the beans and cheese. This is great with a mix of finely chopped bell pepper, green onion, and chopped spinach.
Notes
- I used Siete refried beans which have added spices, but Trader Joe's sells them completely plain with no spices.
- Added vegetables don't need to be cooked ahead if chopped very small. Then can be pan-cooked for 2-3 minutes if you want them softened a bit.
- HYH - Please see the post for details and my "sour cream" recipe. Use mozzarella and TortillaLand or other fresh tortillas.
