Ingredients
1x 10 inch whole grain tortilla
½cupcheeseshredded (more if needed)
¾cupspinach
⅓cupshredded chickenlink to buffalo chicken salad for a good recipe!
1teaspoonolive oilcan be substituted with olive oil cooking spray
Optional Fillings
¼cupDiced bell peppers
½cupSmashed black beans
½cupSweet potatoes
2tablespoonCorn
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 350F
Lightly brush olive oil onto one side of the tortilla (or spray with olive oil cooking spray). In the basket of your air fryer, place the tortilla, oil side down. Spread a layer of half of the shredded cheese, top with spinach and chicken and finish with the remaining half of the cheese (this is important as it helps the tortilla stick together)!
Fold the tortilla in half, creating a quesadilla and cook for about 8 minutes (flipping the quesadilla halfway through cooking to ensure both sides are evenly cooked)
Serve with guacamole, salsa, and sour cream (or plain greek yogurt)!
Notes
Check your quesadilla periodically throughout cooking to ensure the quesadilla didn’t open (this can happen sometimes due to the air fryer fan)- if this happens just press it closed again. You can also use a toothpick to secure the edges together.
