Ingredients
Scale
Tortillas and Butter
- 4 medium flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter
Filling
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or Monterey Jack)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Toppings
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the tortillas: Lightly butter one side of each flour tortilla to ensure a crispy, golden exterior when cooked.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up for cooking the quesadilla.
- Assemble the quesadilla: Place one tortilla in the skillet, buttered side down. Evenly sprinkle half of the tortilla with shredded mozzarella cheese, then scatter fresh blueberries on top of the cheese.
- Cook the quesadilla: Fold the tortilla in half over the filling. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, carefully flipping to achieve a golden brown color and melted cheese inside.
- Repeat assembly: Remove the cooked quesadilla and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
- Serve: Slice each quesadilla into wedges. Optionally drizzle with honey for added sweetness and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
- Substitute mozzarella with Monterey Jack or mild cheddar for different flavors.
- If fresh blueberries are unavailable, frozen blueberries can be used but should be thawed and drained first.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Adjust the amount of honey to your taste or omit for less sweetness.
