The Caprese salad is a classic Italian salad that is made with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. It is a simple but delicious salad that is perfect for summer. I have always loved Caprese salad, and I have been wanting to find a way to make it into a quesadilla. I have tried a few different recipes, but this one is by far my favorite. The air fryer cooks the quesadilla perfectly, and the result is a crispy and cheesy quesadilla that is packed with flavor.
