Instructions
Prepare Quesadilla Sauce by combining all ingredients in small bowl.
To assemble quesadillas, start by tearing American cheese slices in half. For each tortilla, place one section of American cheese on opposing sides of the circle (it's ok if the cheese doesn't cover the whole tortilla), then add about ½ cup of shredded cheese on top of the American cheese.
On each tortilla, add ½ cup cooked chicken on top of the cheese. Brush about a tablespoon of Quesadilla sauce onto the other half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half, then slice it in half.
Grease Fryer Basket with a small amount of melted butter or vegetable oil. Place quesadilla triangles Air Fryer (two at a time if they fit). Cook at 370°F for two minutes, flip, then cook for another two minutes. Continue to flip every two minutes until desired doneness; cheese should be melted and tortilla should be toasty.
Repeat with remaining quesadilla halves and serve.
Make sure you have plenty of sour cream, salsa, and guac on hand just in queso!
