- Fold the tortillas in half over the filling to create half-moon shapes.

- Cook the quesadillas in the air fryer for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the quesadillas from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before slicing them into wedges.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or toppings.
