Filled with juicy blueberries, creamy ricotta, and a touch of honey, this quesadilla is quick to prepare and bursting with flavor. It’s the perfect balance of fruity sweetness and satisfying crunch to brighten up your morning.


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

  1. In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, honey (or maple syrup), and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 2: Assemble the Quesadilla

  1. Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface.
  2. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Sprinkle fresh blueberries over the filling.
  4. Place the second tortilla on top to create a sandwich.

Step 3: Cook the Quesadilla

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or spray lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Carefully transfer the quesadilla to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Flip the quesadilla gently with a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 4: Slice and Serve

  1. Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute.
  2. Slice into wedges and drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup.
  3. 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.
