Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt)

1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup mixed fresh fruits, such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and banana, sliced

1/4 cup granola (for a crunchy topping)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Using either a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well blended. Set aside.

    Assemble the Quesadillas: Place one flour tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Using a spatula or knife, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, ensuring to leave about a half-inch border along the outer edges.

      Add the Fruit: Arrange the sliced fresh fruits artfully on top of the cream cheese layer. Feel free to mix and match the fruits for vibrant colors and flavors. Create a rainbow effect for an appealing visual aspect!

        Top It Off: Carefully spread another layer of the cream cheese mixture over the fruits. This will help keep them in place. Place a second tortilla over the top to create a quesadilla. Gently press down to compact the layers together.

          Cook the Quesadillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. When hot, carefully slide the quesadilla into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until it turns golden brown and crispy. Using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until it’s also golden and crispy.

            Slice and Serve: Once both sides are perfectly crispy, transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Let it cool for a minute, then slice it into wedges for easy serving.

              Garnish: For a delightful crunch, sprinkle granola atop the quesadilla wedges. Optionally, dust lightly with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

                Enjoy: Serve your fruity fiesta quesadillas either warm or at room temperature, making them perfect for breakfast, a sweet snack, or an impressive dessert!
