🥄 Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream ((or Mexican crema))
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice ((about ½ lime))
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.

  2. Whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.

  3. Spray the cooking rack in the air fryer with cooking spray. Spread the chili lime sauce on one tortilla and place it sauce-side up in the air fryer.

  5. Secure the quesadilla with 2 or 3 toothpicks by threading them through the edges of the two tortillas.

  7. Remove and let it cool before slicing into fourths and serving with guacamole and pico de gallo.
