How long should quesadillas be in the air fryer?

The cook time will depend on the size of the quesadilla and your air fryer, but most will cook in just 5-6 minutes.

What cheese is best for quesadillas?

Use your favorite shredded cheese that melts well. I like to use Monterey Jack, a Mexican Blend , or an authentic Hispanic cheese like Oaxaca or Chihuahua cheese.

Air Fryer Quesadilla gives you crispy, golden tortillas and melty cheese with only about 5 minutes of cook time! By making quesadillas in your air fryer you can set it and walk away compared to standing by the stove.

Instructions

Assemble Quesadillas - Spray your quesadilla basket with cooking spray then add a tortilla. Spread cheese and shredded chicken on one half of the tortillas (I like to do cheese, then chicken, then a little more cheese). Fold over the tortilla, carefully, and close with two toothpicks. Repeat with a second tortilla.
Spray Quesadillas - Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray. This helps get them nice and golden.
Air Fry - Air fry for about 6 minutes at 400 degrees F. The tortillas should be golden brown and the cheese should be melted.
Serve - Allow to cool for a minute or two then then cut and serve.

Notes

The cook time may vary by a minute or two depending on the size of your quesadilla and air fryer. I like to take a peak at it to check

Using a couple toothpicks helps keep the air fryer fan from blowing open the quesadilla.
