How to Make Cheesy Air Fryer Quesadilla Triangles
Step 1: Assemble the Quesadillas
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle ½ cup shredded cheese evenly over half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half to form a half-moon shape.
Repeat with the second tortilla and remaining cheese.
Step 2: Add Butter
Lightly brush the outside of each folded tortilla with melted butter. Use about ½ tablespoon per quesadilla, brushing both sides lightly. This helps the tortilla turn golden and crispy.
Step 3: Air Fry
Place the quesadillas in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Step 4: Slice and Serve
Remove from the air fryer and let cool for 1–2 minutes. Cut each quesadilla into triangle wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Serve warm.
