◷ 15 minYield: 4 wedgesEasy

Ingredients

  • 2 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 banana, thinly sliced
  • 80 g arequipe
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Method

  1. Spread arequipe over one tortilla, leaving a small border. Add banana and a pinch of salt, then top with the second tortilla.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadilla 2–3 minutes per side until crisp and golden.
  3. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle lightly over the hot quesadilla.
  4. Rest 2 minutes, then cut into wedges.
Arequipe noteKeep the filling away from the edge so hot arequipe does not squeeze into the pan.
