Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ tablespoon honey
- 1 (8-inch) tortilla
- 4 strawberries sliced
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
