How To Make Air Fryer Quesadillas

Start with your filling. Today I used simple black beans (warmed up and mixed with the taco seasoning) and some sauteed poblanos.

Place the tortilla on a flat surface and then spread about 1/2 cup of the black bean mixture on the tortilla, scatter some sauteed poblano peppers on top and add some cheese.

Place the tortilla into the air fryer tray or basket, and set the temperature to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 5 minutes, flip and air fry for another 3 to 5 minutes.

Note: to get the tortilla shell really crisp, I sprayed mine with cooking spray (olive oil spray) I sprayed both sides after I flipped the tortilla.

TIPS FOR MAKING AIR FRYER CHEESY BLACK BEAN QUESADILLAS

• Depending on which air fryer you own, you might need to fold or cut your tortillas to make them fit.
• Flipping halfway is essential; this way, both sides get crispy.
• If you want them to crisp up, spray them generously with cooking spray.
• Ensure the tortillas are filled enough so they do not fly into the heating element.
