Filling
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast shredded
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper finely diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder

  • 4 medium flour tortillas 8-inch

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, toss shredded chicken with cheese, bell pepper, cilantro, cumin and chili powder until evenly combined.
  2. Lay tortillas flat and divide the filling evenly over one half of each tortilla. Fold the empty side over to create a half-moon shape.
  3. Brush both sides of each quesadilla lightly with olive oil.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 375 °F (190 °C). Place quesadillas in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and cook 4 minutes.
  5. Flip and cook 3–4 minutes more until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  6. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest 1 minute, then slice into wedges and serve hot.
