Are you looking for an easy dessert idea which doesn’t require too much preparation, and everything ready in less than 10 minutes? For my son only, fruits in world is strawberry and banana and vegetables include potato and beet root. Rest of them are not good according to him. Whereas my daughter likes a lot of vegetables with a few exceptions. So, whenever I make some fruit-based dessert for them I make sure to add strawberry and banana. This 4 ingredient dessert quesadilla is so yummy and easy.
You need flour tortilla, butter, dulce de leche and fruits. Living in Texas has made me familiar with Tex-Mex cuisine. Quesadilla is an easy and delicious dish. You can make it with chicken, meat, or even veggies and cheese. You can use griddle also. If you want grill marks on the quesadilla then use grill.
I always buy flour tortilla thinking that I am going to make taquitos, enchiladas, burritos and after a few uses I end up making something else and not get enough time to make the one I intended to make. I think it happens to all food bloggers. This time I am planning few more see dishes with the tortilla, let us see how it goes.
I used very less dulce de leche in my quesadilla you can use more according your taste buds. For brushing the tortilla, I used butter you can include cinnamon sugar if you want. I thought it will be too sweet. You can use your favorite fruits. You can try cranberries, or apple as fall season is coming soon. If you want instead of dulce leche you can try with Nutella, cream cheese etc. Even chocolate sauce will be wonderful.
These is best after school snacks and as moms we are always looking to make the kids happy after a whole day in school. This dessert quesadilla can cheer up any tired kids I can assure you that.

As a Latina mom, I love to infuse cultural influences in all foods I create. I love this recipe, I wonder if replacing dulce de leche (I love but it has so much sugar!!) with almond butter would be a healthier alternative for spreading with fruit.
Swathi says
Go ahead and swap with almond butter it is going to be delicious too.
