Ingredients
1 large sturdy flour tortilla
30–45 g softened cream cheese
35 g plump, firm blueberries
5 ml honey or light maple syrup
A small pinch of ground cinnamon
A light coating of cooking spray or butter for the skillet
How to Make It
-
Blend the Spread
Stir softened cream cheese with honey (or maple syrup) and cinnamon just until the mixture becomes smooth and easy to spread. -
Fill the Tortilla
Lay the tortilla flat. Spread the sweet cheese over one half only, keeping a small border at the edge. Scatter blueberries evenly over the top and press gently so they sit snug in the filling. Fold the tortilla over and lightly press the edges—this creates a gentle seal while cooking. -
Skillet to Golden
Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-low. Grease lightly with butter or a small spritz of oil. Place the filled tortilla into the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side while pressing with a spatula, until the surface turns golden and crisp but not overly firm. -
Rest & Slice
Lift from the skillet and let sit for a minute. Slice into wedges for easy serving. Add a small drizzle of extra honey, or serve with a dollop of yogurt if you prefer.
Storing & Reheating
Cool fully before wrapping or placing into a sealed container. Refrigerate for up to 2 days. When reheating, warm again in a skillet or toaster oven to revive the outer crunch. Avoid microwaving alone, as it may soften the tortilla.
Simple Ingredient Swaps
Frozen blueberries work well—just thaw and pat dry first.
Ricotta or thick plain yogurt can replace cream cheese for a tangier result.
Agave or date-based syrup can be used instead of honey or maple syrup.
Nut-free flour such as oat flour also works, though binding may vary slightly.
Serving Ideas
Serve warm with extra fresh fruit on the side
Add to brunch boards or snack plates for sharing
Pair with hash browns, scrambled eggs, or a fruit salad for balance
A yogurt topping adds neatness and protein for plated brunch
A Note on Inspiration
Sweet-filled quesadillas are a modern take on the traditional Mexican quesadilla. This version keeps preparation easy while leaning on a timeless North American comfort pairing—fruit, cinnamon, warm batter notes, and maple-honey sweetness.
