Ingredients
Scale
Tortillas
- 2 large flour tortillas
Filling
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (plus more for serving)
For Cooking
- Butter or cooking spray (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, soften the full-fat cream cheese and stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Slice Strawberries: Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly and slice them thinly to ensure even distribution inside the quesadilla.
- Assemble Quesadillas: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on half of each tortilla, then top with the sliced strawberries. Fold the tortillas over to enclose the filling.
- Cook Quesadillas: 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 per side, or until each side turns golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Slice them into wedges and dust with additional powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- You can substitute fresh strawberries with other fresh berries or fruits of your choice.
- Cook on medium heat to prevent the tortillas from burning before the cream cheese melts.
- Serve warm for the best flavor experience.
- Optional: Add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra sweetness.
