Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how simple and fuss-free this recipe is. There’s no need to prep anything the night before or turn on the oven—just a skillet, a tortilla, and a few ingredients. It’s a great way to use up fresh blueberries, and the combination of cream cheese and cinnamon gives it a comforting, cheesecake-like flavor. Plus, it’s endlessly customizable depending on what I have in the fridge.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Flour tortilla
Cream cheese
Ground cinnamon
Fresh blueberries

Directions

I spread a generous layer of cream cheese over one half of a flour tortilla.
Then, I sprinkled ground cinnamon evenly on top.
I added a handful of fresh blueberries, pressing them gently into the cream cheese.
I folded the tortilla in half to close it like a quesadilla.
In a skillet over medium heat, I cooked the folded tortilla for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until both sides were golden and crisp.
Once cooked, I removed it from the skillet, let it rest for a minute, and sliced it into wedges to serve warm.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 1 quesadilla, which I usually slice into 2–4 pieces depending on how hungry I am.

Servings: 1
Prep time: 3 minutes
Cook time: 6 minutes
Total time: 9 minutes

Variations

I sometimes add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Swapping fresh blueberries for raspberries or sliced strawberries works just as well.
If I want a richer flavor, I mix a bit of vanilla extract into the cream cheese before spreading.
A sprinkle of crushed granola inside adds a nice crunch.
For a dessert version, I add mini chocolate chips along with the fruit.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers (which is rare), I store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, I place the quesadilla in a skillet over low heat for a few minutes on each side, just until it’s warmed through and crispy again. I avoid microwaving it because the tortilla gets soggy.

FAQs

How can I make this recipe dairy-free?

I use a dairy-free cream cheese alternative, and it works just as well with no change in texture or flavor.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, but I thaw and pat them dry first to avoid making the tortilla soggy.

Is this sweet enough on its own?

For me, yes—but if I want it sweeter, I add a touch of honey or a sprinkle of sugar before folding the tortilla.

Can I prep this ahead of time?

I can assemble the quesadilla ahead and refrigerate it uncooked for up to a day. I just cook it fresh in the morning.

What kind of tortilla works best?

I prefer using soft flour tortillas because they crisp up beautifully without tearing.
