Preheating your air fryer is a crucial step that should never be overlooked. This process helps ensure that your quesadillas cook evenly and develop a nice, crispy texture. An air fryer typically takes about 3-5 minutes to reach the optimal temperature, so it’s wise to set it up while you assemble your quesadillas. For crispy quesadilla triangles, the ideal temperature is 375°F (190°C). This temperature allows the tortillas to crisp up nicely while ensuring that the cheese melts perfectly inside.

Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup shredded cheese (choose from cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)

1 cup bell peppers, thinly sliced (mix red, yellow, and green for color)

1 cup zucchini, finely chopped

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup fresh spinach leaves (or thawed if using frozen)

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Salsa and sour cream for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling:

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced bell peppers, finely chopped zucchini, red onion, and fresh spinach. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle the garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the mixture thoroughly to ensure all the veggies are coated with the oil and spices.

      Assemble the Quesadillas:

        Place a flour tortilla flat on a clean, dry surface. Evenly sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over one half of the tortilla. Place a generous portion of the prepared vegetable mixture on top of the cheese, followed by another layer of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing down gently to seal the edges.

          Repeat the Process:

            Continue assembling the remaining tortillas in the same manner, creating a total of 4 quesadillas.

              Preheat the Air Fryer:

                Set the air fryer to preheat at 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes, allowing it to reach the optimal cooking temperature.

                  Air Fry the Quesadillas:

                    Carefully place 2 quesadillas in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. Air fry for approximately 6-8 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The quesadillas are ready when they are golden brown and crispy, with the cheese melted and oozing from the sides.

                      Slice Into Triangles:

                        Once cooked, gently remove the quesadillas from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a minute. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut each quesadilla into triangles for easy serving.

                          Serve:

                            Serve the crispy veggie quesadilla triangles warm, alongside salsa and sour cream for dipping, if desired.
