Our Air Fryer Quesadilla recipe cooks in under 10 minutes. The quesadilla sauce is a riff on the Taco Bell quesadilla sauce, making this chicken quesadilla super saucy, cheesy, and hard to resist!
If you’ve been following our recipes for a long, you’ve probably realized that we have a bit of a thing for Taco Bell!
I know it’s not cool to admit, but I love hitting them up for a quick lunch. Love recreating their recipes at home even more though.
