Notes

Storing and Using Flax Seeds: Flax seeds are a nutritious addition to your pantry. They can spoil quickly, so it's best to store them in the refrigerator. To make them digestible and to get the most benefit, grind them lightly before use. A coffee grinder works well for grinding small batches of 2-3 tablespoons. Ground flaxseed is a versatile ingredient – sprinkle it over salads, blend into smoothies, mix into yogurt, or add to oatmeal for a nutritious boost.
Fruit Selection for Quesadillas: Enhance your quesadilla with the freshest flavors by choosing seasonal fruits. They bring out the best in taste and nutrition. Don't hesitate to use canned fruit as an alternative, especially if you're looking for convenience or out-of-season options.
Lactose Intolerance Accommodations: If you're avoiding lactose, there are great alternatives available. Substitute regular yogurt and ricotta with lactose-free or vegan varieties to enjoy your quesadilla without any discomfort.
Vegan Quesadilla Options: For a vegan-friendly version, opt for dairy-free yogurt and vegan cheese. Replace honey with a vegan sweetener of your choice. This ensures you still get the delightful flavors of a fruit quesadilla, while sticking to your vegan dietary preferences.
