Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 medium-sized flour tortillas
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
- Lay two tortillas flat. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across each, leaving a ½-inch border.
- Arrange sliced strawberries over the cream cheese layer.
- Top each with another tortilla to form quesadillas.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Grill each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and crisp.
- Let rest for 1 minute, then slice into wedges using a pizza cutter.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh strawberries.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy spreading.
- Allow quesadillas to rest briefly before slicing to prevent filling from spilling.
- Serve with optional toppings like powdered sugar, chocolate drizzle, honey, whipped cream, or ice cream.
