Ingredients

Scale

Quesadilla Base

1 large flour tortilla (or whole wheat for extra fiber)
2–3 tablespoons cream cheese (softened; regular or low-fat)
¼ cup fresh blueberries (frozen can be used, thawed first)

Flavorings

1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
A pinch of cinnamon

For Cooking

Cooking spray or butter (for crisping the quesadilla)

Instructions

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with cinnamon and honey (if using). Mix well to create a smooth, flavorful spread. If short on time, sprinkle cinnamon directly onto the tortilla and skip this mixing step.
Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over half of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent filling from leaking. Scatter the blueberries evenly on top of the cream cheese, then fold the tortilla in half, gently pressing to seal.
Cook the Quesadilla: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or butter. Place the folded quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, flipping carefully once the underside is golden brown. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even browning and melting of the cream cheese.
Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and transfer it to a plate. Allow it to cool for a minute to avoid burning from the hot blueberries. Slice into wedges and optionally drizzle with honey or serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.

Notes

Use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber and a nuttier flavor.
Frozen blueberries can be used but make sure to thaw and drain them to avoid soggy quesadillas.
Honey or maple syrup is optional but enhances the natural sweetness.
For a vegan version, substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative.
This recipe can be doubled easily for more servings.
Serve with Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
