Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas

Air fryer Buffalo chicken quesadillas are made with shredded chicken smothered in tangy, spicy, buffalo sauce and cool creamy ranch dressing stuffed in a tortilla shell along with cheddar and blue cheese.

Notes

Use leftover slow cooker Buffalo chicken dip as a filling.
Choose your favorite cheese: cheddar, Mexican, Monterey Jack, pepper Jack, or Colby Jack.
Swap ranch dressing for cream cheese if preferred.
Use any cooked chicken—leftovers, rotisserie, or freshly cooked (boiled, baked, or air fried).
Make your own ranch if needed with homemade seasoning, buttermilk, mayonnaise, and Greek yogurt.
Skip the air fryer? Make these in a large skillet instead.
For a crispy tortilla, spray with olive oil or avocado oil before air frying.
Store leftovers covered in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
