Instructions
- Cook the veggies: Toss the sliced peppers and onion together and air fry for 10 minutes at 450ºF or your air fryer's hottest setting. Or sauté the veggies over medium-high heat with a teaspoon of olive oil. You're looking to soften the veggies and pick up a bit of browning.
- Add the chicken and seasoning: Toss the veggies with the chicken, spices, salt, and hot sauce. Air fry or sauté an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken.
- Prep the pan: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add a bit of cooking spray or tiny bit of oil to the pan before adding a tortilla.
- Assemble the quesadillas: Add 1.5 oz (42g) of cheese to each tortilla in an even layer. Add 3.5 oz (about 100g) of the chicken mixture to one side of the tortilla. Use a spatula to fold the tortilla over to seal once the cheese begins to melt. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve: Slice into triangles or serve unsliced with your choice of garnishes.
💡 Notes & Tips
- You can use high fiber tortillas like Mission Carb Balance to reduce the carb and calorie content.
- To reheat leftover quesadillas, air fry at 325ºF for 8-10 minutes until the filling is heated through and the tortillas are nice and crispy again.
- Nonfat Greek yogurt is a great sour cream alternative to give your quesadillas an extra boost of protein.
