Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla (or whole wheat for extra fiber)
- 2–3 tablespoons cream cheese (softened; regular or low-fat)
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries (or thawed frozen blueberries)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- A pinch of cinnamon
- Cooking spray or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prep the filling: Mix the softened cream cheese with cinnamon and honey in a small bowl for a smoother texture and enhanced flavor. Alternatively, sprinkle cinnamon directly onto the tortilla if short on time.
- Assemble the quesadilla: Lay the tortilla flat, spread the cream cheese mixture over half, leaving a small border around the edges. Scatter the blueberries evenly over the cream cheese, then fold the tortilla in half, gently pressing to seal.
- Cook to perfection: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or butter. Place the folded quesadilla in the pan and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even crisping.
- Serve and enjoy: Transfer the quesadilla to a plate, let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges. Optionally, drizzle honey or add a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use whole wheat tortillas to increase fiber content.
- Frozen blueberries can be used but should be thawed before assembling.
- Cinnamon enhances the flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- Honey or maple syrup adds sweetness but is optional.
- Pressing the quesadilla gently while cooking helps achieve a crisp and even texture.
- Serve with Greek yogurt or extra honey for added creaminess and sweetness.
