Introduction
Making quesadillas in an air fryer is a quick and convenient way to get a deliciously crispy and cheesy snack or meal. This method simplifies the traditional pan-frying technique, reducing the oil needed while ensuring the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside melts perfectly. You can customize the filling according to your preferences, making it a versatile option for any time of the day.
