Ingredients
Scale
Tortilla & Filling
- 2 flour tortillas
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Flavorings
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Cooking
- Butter or coconut oil, for frying
Optional Toppings
- Powdered sugar
- Additional honey for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortillas: Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over one side of each tortilla, making sure to go all the way to the edges for maximum creaminess in every bite.
- Add the Filling: Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over one of the cream cheese-covered tortillas. Try to distribute them so there are berries in every slice.
- Flavor and Assemble: Drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the blueberries, then dust with ground cinnamon for a touch of warmth and spice. Place the second tortilla on top, cream cheese side down, to create a sandwich.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter or coconut oil. Carefully transfer the assembled quesadilla to the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes on the first side, until golden brown and crispy, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it cool slightly. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice into wedges. If desired, top with powdered sugar or an extra drizzle of honey. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a heartier and healthier twist.
- Frozen blueberries can be used without thawing, but fresh berries provide the best texture.
- Swap cream cheese with whipped ricotta or Greek yogurt for a tangy variation.
- Add lemon zest for a zestier flavor punch.
- Great for kids; let them help spread the cream cheese and sprinkle the berries.
