Quesadilla Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (plus more for serving)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Butter or cooking spray (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a bowl, soften the cream cheese and mix in the vanilla extract until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Slice the strawberries: Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly and slice them thinly to ensure even distribution inside the quesadilla.
- Assemble the quesadilla: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on half of each tortilla, then layer the sliced strawberries on top. Fold the tortillas over to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook the quesadilla: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or cooking spray. Place each quesadilla in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Allow the quesadillas to cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Dust with additional powdered sugar for a sweet garnish and serve warm.
Notes
- Using full-fat cream cheese ensures a richer and creamier filling.
- Make sure strawberries are sliced thinly to cook evenly and fit nicely inside the quesadilla.
- You can substitute butter with a non-stick cooking spray to reduce fat content.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; the quesadilla is best enjoyed warm.
- For variation, add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon inside before folding.
