Ingredients

2 medium flour tortillas
¾ cup shredded rotisserie chicken (I like to use the pre-shredded, cooked rotisserie chicken that you can find near the deli section of your grocery store)
¾ cup shredded mozzarella, cheddar, or pepper jack cheese
Additional ingredients if desired: chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, onion

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 370°F. Lightly spray the bottom of air fryer basket with cooking spray or use air fryer parchment paper on the bottom (for easy clean-up just incase the cheese bubbles over.
Place on tortilla on bottom of air fryer basket. Top with half of shredded cheese, all of the shredded chicken, and then the remaining cheese in an even layer. If using additional ingredients, add to tortilla.
Top with second tortilla and lightly coat with cooking spray. TIP: If you are worried that your quesadilla will move because of the air power, you can place a trivet or metal rack on top of quesadilla.
Set timer for 6 minutes and cook, flipping the quesadilla halfway. Serve with your favorite toppings and/or sauces, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Notes

Quesadilla will keep in an airtight container for up to three days.
