Ingredients

• 2 large (10-inch) flour tortillas (or 4 small taco-sized)

• 1 teaspoon butter or neutral oil

The Cheese Blend (Key to Success)

• Cream cheese – for tangy creaminess

• Optional swap: Cheddar or Monterey Jack for sharper flavor

Flavor Boosters (Optional but Recommended)

• 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• ½ teaspoon lemon zest

• A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg

For Serving

• Powdered sugar, for dusting

• Maple syrup, for drizzling

• Extra blueberries

• A dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream

Step-by-Step Method (10 Minutes to Bliss)

Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 5 mins | Serves: 1–2

Step 1: Flavorful Fill

• Toss blueberries with lemon zest and a pinch of cinnamon.

• If using cream cheese, spread a thin layer over half of each tortilla—this acts as “glue” and adds creaminess.

Step 2: Assemble with Care

• Sprinkle cheese evenly over the tortilla.

• Scatter blueberries across half, then top with a little more cheese.

• Fold the tortilla into a neat half-moon.

Step 3: Cook to Golden Perfection

• Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.

• Cook quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden, crisp, and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 4: The Grand Finale

• Let it rest for 1 minute, then slice into wedges.

• Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with syrup, and serve with extra berries and yogurt or whipped cream.

Chef’s Notes & Pro Tips

• Cheese is Everything: A mix of melty + flavorful cheese is the secret.

• Don’t Overfill: A light, even layer keeps flipping easy.

• Medium Heat Only: Too hot = burnt tortilla, unmelted cheese.

• Frozen Berry Hack: Toss frozen blueberries straight in—no thawing needed.
