4 medium sized flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
¾ cup salsa
optional toppings like sour cream, cilantro, peppers or guacamole

Instructions

Preheat air fryer at 360F. Combine chicken and salsa in a medium size bowl. Microwave tortillas for 20 seconds to soften them.
Arrange ½ cup chicken mixture on half of one tortilla. Top with ½ cup shredded cheese. Fold over. Repeat with remaining tortillas, chicken and cheese..
Spray the air fryer basket and place quesadillas in the air fryer basket. Spray the tops with oil and cook for 8 minutes, flipping halfway.
Remove and let cool. Cut and top or serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole or your favorite toppings!

Notes

It's easy to make quesadillas in the oven if you do not have an air fryer but there is some extra time involved. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare the tortillas and lay them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 8 minutes then flip and bake until the cheese is melty and the tortillas are crispy, about 8 minutes more.
