Air Fryer Delimex Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas

Air Fryer Delimex Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas

Why You’ll Love It

Delimex Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas combine smoky chipotle-seasoned chicken with melted cheese, all wrapped in a crisp flour tortilla. Air frying gives them the ideal texture—crispy on the outside and perfectly heated through on the inside—without the oil or sogginess of other methods. These quesadillas are flavorful, fast, and fun to serve any time of day.

Ingredients

• 2–3 Delimex Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas (frozen; do not thaw)

• Optional: Olive oil spray (for extra crispiness)

• Optional: Sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for dipping

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for 3–5 minutes. This ensures even and crispy results right from the start.

Prepare the Quesadillas

• Remove quesadillas from the freezer and do not thaw.

• Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

• Spray lightly with olive oil for a crispier finish (optional).

Air Fry

• Cook at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

• At the halfway mark (around 5–6 minutes), flip gently using tongs.

• For extra browning, add 1 minute at 390°F at the end.

Check for Doneness

• Tortilla should be golden and slightly blistered.

• Filling should be hot and fully melted.

• Internal temperature should reach 165°F.

• Let cool for 1–2 minutes before serving to avoid burns from the hot filling.

Pro Tips

• Use parchment paper or an air fryer liner to prevent cheese leaks.

• Want extra heat? Serve with chipotle mayo or sprinkle red pepper flakes after air frying.

• Avoid crowding—leave space between quesadillas for proper airflow.

Serving Ideas

• Serve with:

  • Sour cream

  • Salsa verde or chipotle salsa

  • Guacamole or avocado slices

• Make it a meal:

  • Add a side of Spanish rice or Mexican street corn

  • Serve with black bean salad or roasted veggies

  • Drizzle with crema and chopped cilantro for a Tex-Mex presentation

Storage & Reheating

Storage

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating

• Air Fryer: 375°F for 4–5 minutes

• Oven: 350°F for 10 minutes

• Microwave: 45–60 seconds (will soften the tortilla)

FAQs

Can I cook these without flipping?

Flipping helps ensure even browning and melting but is optional if you're in a rush.

Are these spicy?

They have a mild-to-medium chipotle kick. If you’re spice-sensitive, serve with a cooling dip like sour cream.

Can I cook more than two at once?

Only if your air fryer has enough space for a single layer. Avoid stacking.
