🍓 Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make your Nutella Strawberry Quesadilla:

• 2 large flour tortillas
• 3 tablespoons Nutella (or any chocolate hazelnut spread)
• ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced thinly
• 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting)
• Optional: chocolate drizzle or whipped cream for topping

🔪 Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make your Nutella Strawberry Quesadilla perfectly gooey and crisp every time.

1. Prepare the Ingredients
Wash and slice your strawberries thinly. You’ll want even slices so they cook and layer nicely inside the quesadilla.

2. Spread the Nutella
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Spread a generous layer of Nutella evenly across the surface, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges to prevent overflow when cooking.

3. Add Strawberries
Arrange sliced strawberries evenly over the Nutella layer. The combination of warm chocolate and juicy berries will melt together beautifully as the quesadilla cooks.

4. Assemble the Quesadilla
Place the second tortilla on top, pressing gently to seal.

5. Cook It Up
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small pat of butter. Once melted, carefully place your assembled quesadilla in the pan. Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown and slightly crisp.

6. Slice and Serve
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for about a minute before slicing it into quarters or triangles. Dust lightly with powdered sugar, drizzle with extra Nutella or chocolate syrup if desired, and serve warm.

💡 Tips for the Perfect Nutella Strawberry Quesadilla

1. Don’t Overfill: It’s tempting to add lots of strawberries or Nutella, but too much filling can make the quesadilla soggy.
2. Go Slow on Heat: Medium heat gives you the best golden crust without burning the Nutella.
3. Butter = Flavor: Cooking in butter adds richness and crispness you can’t get from oil alone.
4. Use Fresh Strawberries: Fresh berries give the best texture — frozen ones tend to leak too much moisture.
5. Slice Before Serving: Letting the quesadilla rest for a minute helps the filling thicken slightly, making it easier to cut cleanly.

• S’mores Quesadilla: Add mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs before cooking.
• Savory-Sweet Twist: Add a pinch of sea salt or flaky salt on top to balance the sweetness.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

Nutella Strawberry Quesadillas are fantastic served warm with:

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
• A drizzle of melted chocolate or caramel sauce.
• Fresh mint leaves for a touch of color.
• A dusting of powdered sugar for that café-style look.
• Whipped cream and extra strawberries for brunch vibes.

They’re perfect for brunch tables, dessert platters, or even as a quick indulgent snack with coffee or hot cocoa.

🧁 Storage and Reheating

If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare!), you can store them easily:

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Warm in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side or microwave for 15 seconds to re-melt the Nutella.
• Freeze: Assemble but don’t cook. Wrap tightly and freeze for up to a month. Cook straight from frozen when ready.

🌍 A Little Sweet History

While the concept of quesadillas originates from Mexico, dessert quesadillas like this Nutella Strawberry version are a modern fusion twist that merges the best of both worlds — the comforting tortilla tradition and the irresistible charm of European chocolate spreads. Nutella, created in Italy in the 1940s, has since become a global pantry staple, loved for its smooth blend of chocolate and hazelnut.

Combining Nutella with fresh fruit and crispy tortillas creates a universally loved treat — sweet, simple, and satisfying.
