There’s a reason why you’re so popular—the air fryer is the best for cooking a wide range of foods including bread, pizza, and other delicious fare. The versatility of the air fryer is unmatched. It can cook almost any food with ease and it won’t burn or stick to the pan. The best part is that you can get the same results with the air fryer that you would with a regular frying pan.
Can You Make Quesadillas In An Air Fryer?
You’ve probably heard about air fryers before. This type of appliance is popular in many households and restaurants because it is inexpensive and easy to use. Most air fryers come with two different settings: a low setting for sautéing foods and a high setting for cooking foods. One of the best features of air fryers is that you can use them to make quesadillas without the traditional frying pan and spatula. So, how can you make quesadillas in an air fryer? First, you’ll need to prepare your quesadillas. Take your tortillas and spread some cheese onto one half. Then, add some meat and veggies. Fold the tortillas to create a pocket and place them in the air fryer. Cook the quesadillas on the high setting. Then, flip them over and cook them on the other side. This will help you get the best texture and melting of cheese. You may even be able to brown the top of your quesadillas before flipping them over. If you’re looking to try air fryers for the first time, here are some of the best air fryers you can buy today.
Using Tomato
If you want to make a quesadilla without using a pan, you can use your air fryer to make one. Many people use this appliance to make breakfast and brunch items, but it can also be used to make quesadillas.
Using Thicker Chips
The thinner the chips, the longer they need to be cooked. Thicker chips will cook faster. With this in mind, we used one of our regular baking sheets to make quesadillas and placed one of the chips in the center. Next, we placed another chip on top of it. You can see this in the video above. Then we placed the baking sheet in the air fryer and turned on the heat to the highest setting. Next, we carefully folded the edges of the baking sheet and placed it in the air fryer. We cooked the quesadilla for about five minutes. You can see how the edges of the chips start to crisp up, but you have to keep an eye on them. Otherwise, the chips may burn and become hard. Also, keep the quesadilla directly on the surface of the baking sheet to avoid overcooking the chips.
Using Salsa
Making quesadillas in an air fryer isn’t as easy as using a stovetop grill, but you can make an air fryer version of the Mexican dish. To make your quesadillas, place a tortilla on top of a skillet or griddle. Spread a thin layer of salsa on the tortilla. Place a slice of cheese on top. Make sure the cheese is mostly melted, but not fully melted. Add a second tortilla on top, and cook the quesadilla for about five to eight minutes on each side.
Using Cheddar Cheese
Sure, you can make cheese quesadillas in an air fryer. However, you should be careful about how to fold the cheese, or how much cheese you use. The reason why is that it can make the quesadillas a little too messy to handle, and it can cause the cheese to fall out of the quesadilla if you flip it too early. To fold the cheese correctly, start by stacking the bottom of the quesadilla on top of the cheese. Then, fold the bottom of the quesadilla in, toward the center. Finally, fold the top of the quesadilla down, as you would when folding an ordinary quesadilla.
