INGREDIENTS:

INGREDIENT NOTES:

GROUND BEEF:

  • Use the ground beef to prepare these quesadillas. It should be lean and get crisp in the air fryer. Turkey or chicken is the best substitute to make the dish light. Brown the beef well, then add the taco seasoning to make it more flavorful.

TACO SEASONINGS:

  • Use the taco seasoning to make this dish more flavorful. Use the store- bought seasoning as it is more convenient. It should be low-sodium, so add the seasoning as we like to.

TORTILLAS:

  • Use the large tortillas and crisp them beautifully in the air fryer, so they are flexible to be folded. Utilize the soft taco or burrito-size tortillas instead, as they both work well for this purpose.

CHEESE SHERDS:

  • Use the cheddar cheese shreds to add an indulgent and sharp taste to the dish. Utilize the Mexican blend instead, so it melts well. Use the fresh cheese shreds so they melt in a smooth way rather than packaged cheese shreds.

SALSA:

  • Use the chunky salsa or spicy salsa, which pair well for dipping purposes. It is best to use the warm salsa for more flavors.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Warm the air fryer at 375°F.
  2. Take a skillet and put it on the moderate flames.
  3. Include the minced beef in pan and cook till it gets brown, and strain the additional grease.
  4. Include the taco seasoning and cook it as mentioned on the package.
  5. Put the tortillas on the shelf and sprinkle the cheese on half of every tortilla.
  6. Include the beef on the cheese and sprinkle the cheese over it.
  7. Then fold the tortilla in half and lightly press down.
  8. Put the quesadillas in the basket in one layer.
  9. Air fry them for 4 to 5 minutes on each side till they get crisp and brown.
  10. Take out and let them cool lightly, then slice and serve with salsa.

TIPS:

  • Don’t fill the tortillas much to avoid the cheese leakage.
