Tuna Melt Quesadillas in the Air Fryer

Prep Time: 5

Cook Time: 6

Total Time: 11

Servings:

¼ cup Sour cream light or regular
¼ cup Mayonnaise light or regular
1 tbsp Finely chopped cilantro
½ tbsp Chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce 1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder
¼ tsp Onion powder
¼ tsp Garlic powder
¼ tsp Salt
½ tsp Lime zest
10 oz Canned tuna Well drained, I prefer albacore tuna packed in water
6 Flour tortillas
1 ½ cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese can also use cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayo, cilantro, chipotle peppers or chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and lime zest. Add the tuna and mix until evenly combined. Add additional salt to taste, if needed.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese (or more, depending on how cheesy you want them) evenly on a tortilla. Top with spoonfuls of the tuna mixture, spreading into a somewhat even layer (it doesn’t have to be perfect). Sprinkle with a little more cheese and top with another tortilla. Repeat with remaining tortillas. I get about three quesadillas total.
Place the quesadilla in a lightly sprayed air fryer basket. Lightly spray the top with oil and keep the quesadilla down with an air fryer wire rack or tooth picks.
Air fry at 360 °F for 4-6 minutes, or until the tortilla is crispy and tuna and cheese is melty and cooked to your liking.
