Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flour tortillas
• 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Strawberries
• 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
• 1 medium Banana
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the fresh fruit. Hull and slice the strawberries, cut the pineapple into small chunks, and slice the banana into thin rounds. Set the prepared fruit aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust sweetness with more honey if desired.

Step 3

Lay 2 tortillas flat on a working surface. Spread an even layer of the mascarpone mixture over each tortilla, leaving a slight border around the edges.

Step 4

Top the mascarpone layer with an even mixture of the prepared strawberries, pineapple chunks, and banana slices.

Step 5

Place the remaining tortillas on top of the fruit-covered tortillas to form quesadillas. Press gently to help them stick together.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, tilting the pan to ensure even coverage.

Step 7

Carefully place one quesadilla onto the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Using a wide spatula, gently flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the second quesadilla, adding more butter as needed.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked quesadillas to a cutting board and let them cool for a minute. Slice each quesadilla into wedges.

Step 9

If desired, dust the quesadilla wedges lightly with powdered sugar and a pinch of cinnamon for garnish.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Grilled Fresh Fruit Quesadillas as a delightful treat!
