Getting started with this recipe is as easy as grabbing your ingredients and following along. Begin by beating the softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and Β½ teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, then gently fold in the Β½ cup of diced strawberries for that fresh burst.
Next, spread half of this mixture onto one tortilla and prepare your pan by heating 1 teaspoon of softened butter over medium-high heat until it melts. Place the tortilla with the cream cheese side up in the pan, then spread 1 teaspoon of butter on another tortilla and lay it on top, butter side down.
Cook both sides for 2-3 minutes until the quesadilla is crispy and golden. After cooking, mix the remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar with Β½ teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle it over the top. Repeat the process for the second quesadilla or cook both at once on a griddle, then let them rest for 2 minutes before slicing and serving, perhaps with a side of strawberry sauce for extra flair.
