Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
Ingredients for the quesadilla:
- ½ pound boneless skinless sliced chicken breast - About 2 pieces
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil
- 2 8-inch flour tortillas
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Ingredients for the avocado yogurt dip:
- ½ ripe avocado
- ¼ cup 2-5% plain Greek yogurt
- juice of ½ a lime
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- salt to taste
- ½ tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Add chicken breast to a bowl and coat in avocado oil and spices.
- Heat a pan to medium. Place the chicken into the pan and cook about 4-6 minutes per side or until the chicken's temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Then, dice the chicken.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F. Place one tortilla on a cutting board. Add cheese and chicken to one side of the tortilla. Fold it over and secure it with 3 wooden toothpicks. Place the quesadilla in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 350 degrees F for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway. When you flip the tortilla at the halfway point, remove the toothpicks. Make the second quesadilla when the first one is done. If you have a large enough air fryer, cook both of them at the same time.
- Next, make avocado yogurt dip. Mash avocado with yogurt, lime juice, smoked paprika and salt. Lastly, fold in freshly chopped cilantro.
- Cut the quesadillas and serve them with the dip and any other desired toppings such as salsa.
