Air fryer quesadilla

Quesadilla

Crisp tortilla, molten middle, and nothing sliding around in a pan.

The one hazard is the top tortilla lifting off in the fan and flapping about. A rack, or a couple of cocktail sticks, holds it down until the cheese sets.

Ingredients

Serves 2 · tap to check off

  • 4 tortillas
  • 150g grated cheese
  • 1 pepper, finely sliced
  • Spring onions and jalapenos
  • Soured cream and salsa to serve

Method

  1. Fill. Scatter cheese and fillings over two tortillas and top with the others.
  2. Secure. Pin each with cocktail sticks or weigh down with a rack so the fan cannot lift the top.
  3. Air fry. Cook at 375°F for 8 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp.
  4. Cut. Rest 1 minute, then cut into wedges.
Test-kitchen tip

Always pin the top tortilla down. Without it the fan whips it off and you get a cheese fire.
