Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Toss the chicken with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic granules, onion granules, cumin, salt and black pepper.
Add the chicken, peppers and onion to the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 10–12 minutes, shaking halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are lightly roasted.
Stir the tomato salsa through the hot chicken mixture.
Lay two tortillas flat and divide the chicken mixture evenly between them.
Sprinkle generously with the cheddar and mozzarella.
Top with the remaining tortillas and press down gently.
Carefully place each quesadilla into the air fryer and cook at 190°C for 4–5 minutes per side until golden, crisp and the cheese has completely melted.
Slice each quesadilla into wedges.
Serve immediately with sour cream, salsa and chopped coriander.
