Air Fryer Quesadillas
If you're a fan of crispy, cheesy quesadillas but want a healthier alternative to the traditional frying method, then air fryer quesadillas are the perfect solution. Using an air fryer to make quesadillas results in a perfectly crispy exterior with a gooey, melted cheese filling, all without the need for excessive oil or butter. This method not only cuts down on the calorie and fat content of the dish, but also reduces the mess and clean-up involved in traditional frying.
