Ingredients
Scale
Quesadilla
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (plus more for serving)
- Butter or cooking spray (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, soften the cream cheese and mix in the vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, ensuring an even flavor throughout.
- Slice Strawberries: Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly and slice them thinly to evenly distribute inside the quesadilla.
- Assemble Quesadilla: Spread the vanilla cream cheese mixture evenly on half of each flour tortilla, then layer the sliced strawberries over the cream cheese. Fold the tortillas over to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook Quesadilla: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or cooking spray. Place each quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Slice into wedges, dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer and creamier texture.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make spreading easier and smoother.
- You can substitute fresh strawberries with other fresh fruits like blueberries or raspberries if preferred.
- To make it easier to flip the quesadilla, use a non-stick skillet and a wide spatula.
- For a lower fat option, use cooking spray instead of butter when cooking.
