Ingredients
- 1 frozen chicken quesadilla
- Cooking spray
Optional toppings for quesadilla:
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup guacamole
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This step ensures even cooking.
2. Prepare the air fryer basket: Spray the basket lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3. Place the frozen quesadilla: Put the frozen chicken quesadilla in the air fryer basket. Ensure it lies flat and doesn’t overlap.
4. Set the cook time: Cook the quesadilla at 375°F for 8 minutes. This ensures a crispy exterior and melted cheese inside.
5. Flip the quesadilla halfway: At the 4-minute mark, carefully flip the quesadilla using tongs. This step ensures both sides are evenly cooked.
6. Check for doneness: After the 8 minutes are up, check the quesadilla. If it’s not crispy enough, add an additional 1-2 minutes.
7. Serve and enjoy: Once done, carefully remove the quesadilla with tongs. Let it cool for a minute before cutting into it.
Notes
Every air fryer is different. Cook time may vary slightly, so keep an eye on your quesadilla to avoid overcooking.
