Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 0.5 cup Fresh pineapple, diced
- 1 piece Fresh jalapeño, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Sprinkle half the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla.
Top the cheese with sliced strawberries, diced pineapple, and finely chopped jalapeño. Distribute the fruits and jalapeño evenly for balanced flavor.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the toppings, and then sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon.
Place the second tortilla on top to create a sandwich-like structure.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around to coat the pan evenly.
Carefully place the quesadilla into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side or until the bottom tortilla is golden and crispy.
Using a spatula, gently flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm, optionally drizzling with additional honey or sprinkling with more cinnamon for extra sweetness and flavor.
