You can not beat a great sandwich for lunch. Today I made my family an Air Fryer Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Quesadilla.
Making Quesdaills in the air fryer is so easy. I mean, what is better than a smothered caramelized onion and mushroom quesadilla? Today, for added yumminess (is that a word), I added some shredded cheese. It was the perfect lunch!
I did not grow up eating quesadillas. As most of you know, I was raised in an Italian household. The only time I ever had Mexican food would be a monthly outing.
A quesadilla can be filled with anything that you like. You simply fill the tortilla with fillings and then add it to the air fryer for melting it. Today was inspired by some mushrooms and onions I had on hand, plus I really do love a good caramelized onion anything.
