Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas (soft and sturdy)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (washed and dried)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or mild cheddar)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and dry the blueberries thoroughly. Grate the cheese if it is not pre-shredded. Have the cinnamon and sweetener ready for quick assembly.
- Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle an even layer of shredded cheese over the tortilla. Scatter the fresh blueberries on top. Drizzle honey or maple syrup evenly, and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the filling.
- Cook on the Stovetop: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a pat of butter or a teaspoon of coconut oil to the pan. Carefully place the assembled tortilla in the pan. Optionally, top with a second tortilla to make a double-layer quesadilla or fold the tortilla in half.
- Brow and Melt: Cook for about 3 minutes on one side until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the other side is toasted perfectly.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the pan and cut into wedges. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries to avoid excess moisture and sogginess.
- Cook on medium-low heat to let the cheese melt properly before the tortilla crisps.
- Press gently with a spatula or lid while cooking to meld ingredients together.
- Experiment with cheese blends like mozzarella mixed with sharp cheddar for added flavor depth.
- Do not overload the quesadilla to prevent fillings from spilling.
