Air Fryer Spinach and Mushroom Breakfast Quesadillas
These Air Fryer Spinach and Mushroom Breakfast Quesadillas are a quick and easy way to start your day. They're made with a Whole30-compliant and paleo-friendly tortilla, and filled with baby spinach, sliced mushrooms, and eggs. You can also add shredded cheese if you like. The quesadillas are cooked in an air fryer, which gives them a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. They're perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch, and they're also a great way to use up leftover vegetables.
The idea for these quesadillas came to me one morning when I was trying to find a quick and easy way to use up some leftover spinach and mushrooms. I had also been wanting to try out my new air fryer, so I decided to give these quesadillas a try. They turned out so well that I've been making them ever since. I love that they're so versatile—you can add any fillings you like, and they're always delicious. Plus, they're so easy to make, and they cook in just a few minutes.
