Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Chicken Avocado Quesadillas
Crispy, golden air fryer chicken avocado quesadillas — melty cheese, creamy mashed avocado and shredded chicken between toasty tortillas, ready in about 10 minutes. The air fryer crisps both sides without a greasy skillet.
It's the perfect fast lunch or easy dinner, and a great way to use up leftover chicken. Serve with salsa, sour cream or extra guac.
Ingredients
Instructions
Make the filling
Mash the avocado in a bowl with salt and pepper, then fold in the shredded chicken.
Assemble
Spread cheese over one tortilla, add the chicken-avocado mixture, top with more cheese, and close with the second tortilla.
Air fry
Air fry at 375°F for about 4 minutes, then carefully flip and cook 4 more minutes, until golden and crisp and the cheese is melted.
Serve
Let it rest 1 minute, then cut into wedges.
- Don't overfill — too much filling makes it hard to flip.
- Place a trivet or toothpicks to keep the top tortilla from flying up in the air fryer.
- Let it rest a minute so the cheese sets before cutting.
Frequently asked
How long do quesadillas take in the air fryer?
About 8 minutes total at 375°F, flipping once, until golden and the cheese is melted.
How do I keep the tortilla from flying up?
Secure it with toothpicks or set a small trivet on top so the fan doesn't lift it.
Can I use corn tortillas?
Yes, but flour tortillas fold and crisp more easily for quesadillas.
