Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef lean
  • 4 large flour tortillas burrito size
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) while you prepare the filling.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat and stir in taco seasoning.
  • Lay out the tortillas and sprinkle cheese on one half of each tortilla.
  • Top the cheese with the seasoned beef, then fold the tortillas over to create half-moons.
  • Brush the outside of the quesadillas lightly with olive oil.
  • Place quesadillas in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  • Remove carefully, slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
