This recipe is a great way to use ground beef outside of your traditional cheeseburger recipes, and of course with tons of flavor and cheddar cheese.

With this cheeseburger recipe you won’t even need any Worcestershire sauce or added salt because it is perfectly seasoned with the dry onion mix and the apple cider vinegar adds a special flavor profile.

Cheeseburger toppings to add

Feel free to add whatever you like to your cheeseburger quesadilla, load it up with all the toppings, or just keep it simple.

How to make this Air Fryer Cheeseburger Quesadilla:

Step 1: Prepare the burger meat and cook beef

Begin by browning the meat and drain the ground beef once it is done.

Once the meat is cooked, add the water, vinegar, onion soup mix, ketchup, mustard and garlic.

After adding the meat seasonings, stir everything together to combine and simmer it over low-medium heat for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare quesadilla

Start by spraying the air fryer basket with oil. Then place the tortilla in the bottom of the air fryer basket.

Now, add the meat filling to 1/2 of the tortilla, and sprinkle with a generous amount of cheese and tomatoes.

Once the tortilla is filled, fold the tortilla in half and hold it in place with a press.

Spray the quesadilla with oil once more.

If you are making more than one quesadilla, repeat for a second quesadilla on the other half of the air fryer basket.

Step 3: Air fry cheeseburger quesadilla

Keep the quesadillas down with an air fryer wire rack or toothpicks.

Then, air fry at 360 °F or 182 °C for 4-6 minutes, or until the tortilla is crispy, golden brown, and the cheese is melty to your liking. Flip halfway through the total time if desired.

Once done, remove and eat immediately, or place on a baking sheet to make the next quesadillas. Serve it with a salad or enjoy with french fries!
