Instructions:
- Prepare Quesadillas:

- Prep Air Fryer:
- Spray the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Quesadillas:
- Place the assembled quesadillas in the air fryer basket, ensuring they fit without overlapping too much.
- Lightly spray the tops of the quesadillas with oil to promote crispiness.
- Air Fry:
- Cook the quesadillas in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- If cooking in batches, repeat the process for each batch.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, carefully remove the quesadillas from the air fryer basket, using tongs or a spatula.
- Remove the toothpicks before serving.
- Serve the hot and crispy Air Fryer Quesadillas with your favorite dipping sauces, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Additional Tips:
- Feel free to add protein to your quesadillas, such as cooked chicken, shredded beef, or black beans, for a heartier meal.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties and fillings to create your own unique flavor combinations.
- Serve the quesadillas as a snack, appetizer, or main dish, alongside a side salad or Mexican-inspired rice and beans.
