These air fryer chicken quesadillas are so easy to make—using cooked, shredded chicken, and melty cheese in a folded tortilla, and air frying, they're even easier than quesadillas usually are. This recipe was developed for a 5.3-quart, basket-style air fryer, so if yours is different, expect different cook times. Top with guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, cilantro sprigs, or any combination you like.
