Fruit Filled Dessert Quesadillas Recipes

DESSERT QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Lay 1 tortilla half on a clean work surface with the rounded side closest to you. Brush the edges of the tortilla with egg. Place 1 tablespoon of chocolate hazelnut spread in the center of the tortilla and place a piece of fruit or marshmallow on top. Fold one side of the tortilla half way over the filling so that the corner is in the 6-o'clock position, press to seal. Fold the other side over the filling so that the two edges overlap slightly and the corner is also in the 6-o'clock position, press to seal. The quesadilla will look like a triangle-shaped hand pie. Repeat with the remaining tortilla halves and fillings.
• Melt half the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook half of the quesadillas until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with remaining butter and quesadillas. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

FRUIT AND CINNAMON QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Spread cream cheese over tortilla.
• Top with strawberries and sugar on one side.
• Sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon and fold in half.
• Cook in a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray for 2 minutes on each side.

CINNAMON APPLE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook apple, corn syrup, honey, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar in hot skillet, stirring every few minutes, until apples are slightly softened and caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer apple mixture to a bowl.
• Place 1 tortilla in the same skillet over medium-low heat; spread apple mixture on top of tortilla. Top with remaining tortilla. Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the other tortilla is golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes more.

BANANA QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
• Add the sugar and bananas, continue to beat until smooth.
• Spread 1/4 cup of the filling over half of each tortilla.
• Fold the other half over the filling and press slightly.
• Place on a large plate and cover with plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate until the filling sets, about 30 minutes.

• Pan-fry the tortillas in batches, 3 at a time, until golden on each side, about 2 minutes per side.
• Repeat the above process with the remaining butter and filled tortillas.
• To serve, slice each filled tortilla into thirds.
• Arrange the slices in the center of each serving plate.
• Spoon a 1/4 cup of the warm caramel sauce over each plate.
