Servings: 1 serving
Author: On The Go Bites
Ingredients
  • 2 small Flour tortillas 6 inch are good
  • 2 Tablespoons Fig Jam we used Trader Joe's Fig Butter
  • 1/2 Large Bosc pear sliced, or sub apple
  • 4 Medium Walnuts chopped
  • 1/4 Cup Mozzarella shredded, or substitute cheddar
Instructions

  1. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Slice pear and chop walnuts. Finish cutting up the pear and serve the extra slices as a side with the quesadilla.

  2. Spread fig jam on one tortilla, layer with pear, sprinkle with walnuts and mozzarella. Top with other tortilla.

  3. Carefully transfer the quesadilla to the hot pan and cook until the tortilla gets a nice brown color and the cheese is beginning to melt. Flip carefully with a spatula. Once you have the spatula under the quesadilla and have lifted it up about to flip, you may want to put your free hand on top of the quesadilla and guide it as you flip to keep the pears from sliding out. The cheese does a pretty good job to work as glue.

  4. Continue to cook about a minute more.

Recipe Notes

Good substitutes are:

For the pear use an apple

For the mozzarella use cheddar, Havarti or Swiss

For walnuts use almonds

For fig jam use raspberry or blackberry jam
