Ingredients
Scale
For the Quesadillas
- 4 flour tortillas
- 4 tablespoons refried beans
- ½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- Olive oil spray, as needed
For Serving
- Pico de gallo, to taste
- Guacamole, to taste
- Salsa, to taste
- Sour cream, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Air Fryer Basket: Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Assemble the Quesadillas: Spread 2 tablespoons of refried beans evenly over one half of each flour tortilla. Sprinkle ¼ cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend over the beans on each tortilla.
- Fold and Press: Fold each tortilla in half over the filling and press down firmly to help the filling stick and keep the quesadilla closed during cooking. Repeat this step for each tortilla.
- Arrange in Basket: Place the folded quesadillas side by side in the prepared air fryer basket. Spray the tops lightly with olive oil spray to enhance crispiness.
- Air Fry First Side: Cook the quesadillas at 350°F for 4 minutes. Monitor closely during the last minute to ensure the quesadillas don’t open. If they do, press them down firmly to reseal using the refried beans as adhesive.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the quesadillas and air fry for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Serve: Remove from the air fryer and serve hot with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or pico de gallo as preferred toppings.
Notes
- Use a firm press when folding to prevent fillings from spilling out during cooking.
- Check the quesadillas a minute early to avoid the tortillas peeling apart.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your air fryer model for optimal crispness.
- Feel free to add additional fillings like cooked chicken, peppers, or onions for variation.
