Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3 oz soft flour tortillas, 8-inch about 2 tortillas
  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened room temperature spreads easier
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries rinsed and patted dry
  • 1 tbsp honey maple syrup works too
  • 0.5 tsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 0.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp unsalted butter for the skillet
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar optional, for sprinkling
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon optional
  • 0.125 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Stir cream cheese, honey, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt in a bowl until smooth and fluffy.
  • Warm a large skillet over medium heat and briefly heat tortillas to make them pliable; set aside.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over one tortilla, leaving a small border around the edge.
  • Scatter blueberries evenly on top. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon if using. Cover with the second tortilla and gently press.
  • Melt butter in the skillet. Cook the quesadilla 2–3 minutes per side until crisp and golden.
  • Rest 1 minute on a board, then slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

Try it with whole-wheat tortillas, or swap half the cream cheese for ricotta for a lighter, tangier filling. Frozen blueberries work if thawed and patted dry. Leftovers keep in the fridge up to 1 day; re-crisp in a dry skillet over medium heat.
