In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, ricotta cheese, flaxseed, cinnamon, vanilla, and honey until smooth.
Spread the mixture evenly over the tortilla and top with the fruit.
Fold the tortilla in half and place it in a small baking dish.
Bake for 3 to 4 minutes, just until warmed through. Remove and serve whole or cut in half.
Notes
Ground Flaxseed: Use ground flaxseed, not whole flaxseeds, so it blends smoothly into the filling. Store ground flaxseed in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
Choosing Fruit: Fresh, ripe fruit works best and provides the most flavor. If using canned fruit, drain it well to prevent the quesadilla from becoming soggy.
Dairy-Free Options: Lactose-free or plant-based yogurt and ricotta-style alternatives work well in this recipe without changing the texture.
Vegan Adaptation: Use dairy-free yogurt and vegan ricotta or cream cheese, and replace the honey with maple syrup or agave.
