Ingredients
Scale
Quesadilla
- 1 burrito-sized flour tortilla (can substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas)
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon cream cheese (or plain cream cheese mixed with cinnamon and sugar)
- 1/3 cup fresh blueberries (can replace with other seasonal fruits)
- 1/2 tablespoon butter, softened (for spreading)
To Serve
- Powdered sugar, to taste (for dusting)
- Yogurt, to taste (serve on the side)
Instructions
- Prepare the tortilla: Spread 2 tablespoons of cinnamon cream cheese evenly over one side of the burrito-sized flour tortilla, ensuring a consistent layer for flavor.
- Add the blueberries: Sprinkle 1/3 cup of fresh blueberries over half of the cream cheese-coated tortilla. Then fold the other half of the tortilla over the blueberries and gently press down to seal.
- Butter the quesadilla: Spread 1/2 tablespoon of softened butter on one outer side of the quesadilla. Flip and evenly spread the remaining butter on the other side, preparing it for grilling.
- Grill the quesadilla: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the quesadilla in the skillet and grill each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cream cheese has warmed, carefully flipping to avoid spills.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and dust lightly with powdered sugar. Serve warm with a dollop of yogurt on the side for a creamy complement.
Notes
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas as alternatives for a healthier or gluten-free option.
- If cinnamon cream cheese is unavailable, mix plain cream cheese with cinnamon and a little sugar.
- Substitute fresh blueberries with other seasonal fruits like strawberries or raspberries.
- Adjust cooking time depending on your skillet and stove heat to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture as the quesadilla is best warm.
