Servings 1
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Large Spatula
- Basting Brush
Ingredients
- 2 8 inch flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 10 slices pepperoni
- 1 tablespoon pizza sauce
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ tablespoon butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and set the timer for 5 minutes.
- Lay two tortillas side by side. Spread pizza sauce onto one tortilla. Add the mozzarella cheese topped with the pepperoni slices and Italian seasoning to the other tortilla.
- Place the tortilla with the sauce on top of the tortilla with the cheese and pepperoni. Press down on the quesadilla to secure the top tortilla in place. This will help ensure that your top tortilla doesn't fly around in the air fryer basket. If your air fryer has a powerful fan, try further securing the top tortilla by placing toothpicks through the top and bottom tortillas. You can also try placing a wire rack on top of the quesadilla once you place it in your air fryer.
- Brush the top of the quesadilla evenly with the melted butter using a basting brush.
- Using a large spatula, place the pizza quesadilla into the air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes until golden brown. Be sure to check it halfway through.
- Remove the pizza quesadilla from the air fryer. Let cool. Cut into fourths and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
*Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
*To reheat, preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit and heat for 1-2 minutes.
*If your air fryer has a powerful fan, try further securing the top tortilla by placing toothpicks through the top and bottom tortillas. You can also try placing a wire rack on top of the quesadilla once you place it in your air fryer.
*If you would like the quesadilla to get crispy on the bottom, you will need to carefully flip the quesadilla and cook it for an additional minute.
