Notes
- Customization: Feel free to add or substitute ingredients based on your preference, such as adding veggies, different types of cheese, or even scrambled tofu for a plant-based option.
- Storage: To make ahead, prepare the quesadillas and store them wrapped in plastic or foil in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes or until crispy and heated through.
- Tips for Perfection: Be sure not to overlap the quesadillas when air frying, as this can prevent them from crisping evenly.
