Everyone’s favorite menu item at Taco Bell, today I made a quick lunch for my kids and came up with this recipe for Air Fryer Copycat Taco Bell Quesadilla.

If you love this menu item at Taco Bell, you will love this air-fried version, made with the same ingredients, and it crisps up so nicely with the help of the air fryer. I loaded this with diced chicken breast, and cheese, so it has so much more filling than the drive-thru version, but isn’t that the beautify of making copycat recipes at your own home. YOu can add what you like and make it your own?

They used to call this a Taco Bell Crunchwrap, so if you are looking for a recipe for that, it is the same thing. Only with a different name. Since I have two teenage boys, who absolutely love Taco Bell, I have made so many of their dishes in my air fryer, here are some of my favorites:
