Ingredients for Easy Air Fryer Chicken Quesadilla + Stove top:
- 2 gluten-free corn tortillas
- 3 tbsp guacamole
- 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (about 100g) cooked, cubed chicken breast
Instructions for Easy Air Fryer Chicken Quesadilla + Stove top:
- Set the temperature of the air fryer to 325 F/170 C.
- Mist the air fryer basket with a small amount of olive oil.
- Place the initial tortilla within the basket. After that, spread the guacamole, top with the second tortilla, cheese, and chicken.
- To keep the top tortilla in place while it cooks, use a toothpick.
- Cook for 6 to 10 minutes, or until they are as crispy as you prefer, carefully turning the quesadillas halfway through.
- After taking out of the air fryer, slice and serve.
Notes: Recipe Hints
- Hold down the top tortilla with a toothpick. Alternatively, to keep the air fryer stationary during cooking, you can set the metal trivet that comes with it on top.
- Because we like to make enchiladas gluten-free, I use corn tortillas in this recipe. However, flour tortillas can be used in their place.
- Any extra tortillas should be frozen. Then, when needed, simply thaw for 15 minutes.
