How to Make Chicken Quesadillas in a Ninja Foodi Using the Air Crisp Function
Aunt Lou here.
These Ninja Foodi Chicken Quesdillas were an instant favorite in my house, and my family has asked me to make them again repeatedly. One of the great things about this recipe is that after you do the prep work, you can make what you need right then and put any remaining ingredients in the fridge so you can make a fresh one later.
These chicken quesadillas uses one of our favorite recipes, Ninja Foodi Taco Chicken Tenders, cut into small cube pieces. Personally, I like to make up my chicken ahead of time and dice my green and red pepper. By doing that prep work ahead of time, I just have to assemble my quesadillas while my Ninja Foodi is preheating, and dinner is ready in no time at all!
