Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (choose a variety of colors for visual appeal)

1/2 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and drained thoroughly

1/3 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen, thawed if using frozen)

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for brushing)

1 teaspoon taco seasoning (or adjust according to your taste preference)

Salsa and sour cream, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat Air Fryer: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes as you prepare your filling. This ensures a crispy texture for the quesadillas.

    Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, black beans, corn, red onion, and taco seasoning. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well incorporated and evenly seasoned.

      Assemble the Quesadillas: Take one tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface. Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese over one half of the tortilla. Add a generous scoop of the veggie filling over the cheese and sprinkle another 1/4 cup of cheese on top of the vegetables. Fold the tortilla in half, covering the filling. Repeat this assembly process for the remaining tortillas.

        Brush (Optional): For an extra crispiness, you may lightly brush the top side of the quesadillas with olive oil. This step is optional but adds a delightful texture to the finished dish.

          Air Fry the Quesadillas: Place 2 quesadillas in the air fryer basket at a time, making sure not to overcrowd them, as space is key for even cooking. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping the quesadillas halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.

            Serve: After cooking, carefully remove the quesadillas from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before slicing into wedges. Serve them warm accompanied by salsa and sour cream for a delicious dipping experience.
