Cream Cheese: The base of the cheesecake filling. Softened cream cheese gives a smooth, creamy texture.
Sugar: Sweetens the cream cheese and gives the top that irresistible sparkle when combined with cinnamon.
Vanilla Extract: Adds a warm, rich flavor that makes the filling taste like actual cheesecake.
Strawberries: Fresh and juicy, they brighten up the filling and add a little texture and tartness.
Tortillas: Use 6-inch flour tortillas—they crisp up beautifully and hold the filling perfectly.
Butter: Helps the tortillas get that golden, crispy finish in the pan and adds richness.
Cinnamon & Sugar: Sprinkled on top for that iconic dessert quesadilla crunch and flavor.
Strawberry Sauce: For dipping—or drizzling over the top. It elevates the whole experience.
Variations
Looking to switch things up? Try these fun twists:
Berry Blend: Swap in raspberries, blueberries, or a mix for a burst of berry flavor.
Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle with melted dark or white chocolate instead of (or with) strawberry sauce.
Nutty Addition: Sprinkle in a few chopped pecans, almonds, or crushed graham crackers for texture.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free tortillas—just make sure they’re soft and pliable enough to fold and cook without tearing.
Mini Versions: Use smaller tortillas and cut them into wedges for a party-friendly treat.
