It takes less than ten minutes to prepare our Air Fryer Quesadilla recipe. A variation on Taco Bell’s quesadilla sauce, this chicken quesadilla is very cheesy, saucy, and difficult to resist!
Ingredients
FOR THE TACO BELL QUESADILLA SAUCE:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon pickled jalapenos diced
- 1 tablespoon juice from jar of pickled jalapenos
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
FOR THE QUESADILLA:
- ¾ cup shredded, cooked chicken
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
- 2 8-inch flour tortillas
- ½ cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar
METHOD:
HOW TO MAKE THE SAUCE:
- In a small bowl, add all the sauce ingredients and whisk to blend.
THE QUESADILLAS TO BE MADE:
- In a small bowl, combine the chicken and taco seasoning; toss to coat the meat.
- You won’t need all of the quesadilla sauce, so spread a tablespoon or two over half of each tortilla before adding Monterey jack cheese on top.
- Before adding the cheddar, scatter the chicken on top of the cheese.
- Place the tortillas in the basket of an air fryer after folding them tight. Apply cooking spray sparingly.
- Cook the tortillas in an air fryer set to 350 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes, turning them halfway through, or until they are as crisp and browned as you prefer.
- If preferred, serve with the additional sauce for dipping.
