Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)

1 cup bell peppers, diced (mix of colors for a vibrant look)

1 cup zucchini, diced

1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)

½ cup red onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil

Optional: fresh cilantro for garnish, or avocado for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Veggies: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced bell peppers, zucchini, corn, red onion, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices coat the vegetables evenly.

    Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay out two tortillas on a clean surface. On each tortilla, sprinkle a layer of cheese, followed by an even distribution of the veggie mixture. Top the veggies with another layer of cheese, and then carefully place a second tortilla on top of each.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the quesadillas.

        Cook in the Air Fryer: Lightly spray or brush the tops of each quesadilla with cooking spray or olive oil. Place one or two quesadillas (depending on your air fryer size) in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

          Cut and Serve: Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the air fryer and let them sit for a couple of minutes. Cut into wedges and garnish with fresh cilantro or serve with sides of avocado, salsa, or sour cream.

            Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy your delicious family-friendly air fryer veggie quesadillas!
