Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large flour tortillas (whole wheat or regular)
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (or cream cheese as an alternative)
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon butter or cooking spray (for the skillet)
- Optional toppings: powdered sugar, Greek yogurt, or more fresh blueberries
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, honey (or maple syrup), and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Step 2: Assemble the Quesadilla
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle fresh blueberries over the filling.
- Place the second tortilla on top to create a sandwich.
Step 3: Cook the Quesadilla
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Carefully transfer the quesadilla to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the quesadilla gently with a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 4: Slice and Serve
- Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute.
- Slice into wedges and drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup.
- Garnish with powdered sugar, Greek yogurt, or more blueberries if desired.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh blueberries provide the best flavor and texture, but frozen ones work too (just thaw and pat dry).
- Customize the Filling: Add a handful of chopped nuts, a sprinkle of granola, or a touch of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Choose Your Tortillas: Whole wheat tortillas add a nutty flavor and extra fiber, but regular ones work just as well.
- Prevent Sogginess: Don’t overfill with blueberries, as their juice can make the tortilla soggy.
