Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup bell peppers, diced (red, green, or yellow)

1 cup zucchini, diced

½ cup red onion, finely chopped

1 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

½ tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil spray

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Salsa or sour cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and corn. Add the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.

    Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese followed by a layer of the veggie mixture, then top with cheddar cheese. Place a second tortilla on top. Repeat this for the remaining tortillas and fillings.

      Cut the Quesadillas: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each quesadilla into quarters to form triangles.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures that the quesadillas cook evenly.

          Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spray both sides of the quesadilla triangles with olive oil. This will help them achieve a crispy texture.

            Air Fry the Quesadillas: Place a few triangles in the air fryer basket in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the quesadillas are golden brown and crispy.

              Finish and Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the quesadilla triangles from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve with salsa or sour cream for dipping.
