Air Fryer Smoky Pulled Pork Quesadilla Wedges

This is proper BBQ comfort folded inside a crispy tortilla. Smoky pulled pork, bubbling cheese, sweet red onions, and sticky BBQ sauce toasted until the outside is golden and crisp while the middle stays gloriously molten. Slice them into wedges, pile them high, and watch them disappear before they've even cooled down.

Air Fryer Smoky Pulled Pork Quesadilla Wedges preparation stage

You’ll Need

4 large flour tortillas
350g cooked pulled pork
150g mature cheddar, grated
100g mozzarella, grated
1 small red onion, finely sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper

For The BBQ Sauce
4 tbsp smoky BBQ sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard

Optional But Dangerous
Sliced jalapeños
Spring onions
Garlic mayo
Sour cream

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 190°C.

Place the pulled pork into a bowl with the smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

Mix together the BBQ sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.

Stir half of the BBQ sauce through the pulled pork until evenly coated.

Lay two tortillas flat.

Scatter over half of the cheddar and mozzarella.

Top with the BBQ pulled pork and sliced red onion.

Drizzle over a little more BBQ sauce.

Finish with the remaining cheese.

Place the remaining tortillas on top and press down gently.

Lightly brush both sides with the olive oil.

Place one quesadilla at a time into the air fryer basket.

Cook at 190°C for 4–5 minutes.

Carefully flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes until both sides are crisp and golden and the cheese has

completely melted.

Remove and allow to rest for 1 minute before cutting into wedges.

Finish with spring onions, jalapeños, garlic mayo, or sour cream if using.

Serve immediately while the cheese is still stretching.

Lad Tip: Don't overfill the quesadillas. A slightly thinner filling means the tortilla crisps beautifully, the cheese melts evenly, and every wedge stays intact instead of exploding the moment you pick it up.
