Ingredients
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
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with a pinch of cinnamon and the optional honey or maple syrup. Mix until smooth and well blended. This step enhances the flavor and texture, but you can skip it and sprinkle cinnamon directly on the tortilla if short on time.
- Assemble the quesadilla: Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over half of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent filling from leaking out. Evenly scatter the fresh blueberries over the cream cheese layer. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling and gently press the edges together to seal.
- Cook the quesadilla: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or butter. Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Flip once the underside turns golden brown. Press gently with a spatula while cooking to ensure even browning and warmth throughout the filling.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a plate and let it cool slightly for about a minute to avoid hot blueberry filling burns. Slice into wedges. Optionally, drizzle with honey or serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra flavor and creaminess.
Notes
- Using whole wheat tortillas adds extra fiber and nutrients.
- Frozen blueberries can be used if fresh are unavailable; just thaw before assembling.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon and honey to your taste for sweetness and spice.
- Serve immediately for best texture as the quesadilla crisps up when freshly cooked.
- For a lower fat version, choose low-fat cream cheese and use cooking spray instead of butter.
