How to Make Easy Quesadillas in a Ninja Foodi Using the Air Crisp Function
Aunt Lou here.
Oh my word, dear readers! These Easy Ninja Food Quesadillas were an incredible success at my house. I talk about trying to find recipes that my picky eater will try and like quite a bit. This recipe received rave reviews from everyone, even my picky eater! Michael and both kids made a point to come and tell me how much they loved these quesadillas, and they requested them the next day too! That’s how good they are.
I tried this recipe with a couple different methods to see if I needed to have something to hold the quesadillas together as they were cooked. When I placed a Silicone Reusable Ninja Foodi Liner not only beneath the quesadillas, but also on top, they cooked well and were pretty flat. I tried it again with just putting a liner beneath the quesadillas, and they did not open up while cooking but were not as flat. So, you can do whichever way you prefer. However, if you cook one by itself, I would recommend putting a silicone liner on top to keep it closed. I tried cooking just one by itself, and it tried to come open during the first cooking time.
