🛒 Ingredients

🔹 For the Quesadillas

Ingredient Amount Notes
Flour tortillas 4 large (burrito size) or 8 medium Soft taco/burrito style, not too thick
Nutella (or other chocolate hazelnut spread) ½ to ¾ cup total About 2-3 tbsp per quesadilla
Optional fillings Sliced banana, strawberries, mini marshmallows, chopped hazelnuts Add for texture and flavor

🔹 For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

Ingredient Amount Notes
Granulated sugar ½ cup (100g) You can use superfine sugar for a smoother finish
Ground cinnamon 1½ to 2 tsp Adjust to taste
Unsalted butter 4 tbsp (60g), melted For brushing and browning

🔧 Equipment Needed
• Non-stick skillet or griddle
• Pastry brush (or back of a spoon)
• Spatula
• Knife and cutting board (for fillings)
• Plate lined with paper towel (optional)
• Pizza cutter or sharp knife (for slicing)

🧑‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

🔹 Step 1: Make the Cinnamon Sugar
1. In a small bowl, mix together:
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1½ to 2 tsp ground cinnamon
2. Stir until well combined and evenly colored. Set aside.

🔹 Step 2: Prep the Fillings
1. If using fruit, slice thin:
• Bananas: about ⅛-¼ inch thick rounds
• Strawberries: hulled and sliced
• Hazelnuts: chop finely, toast lightly if desired
• Mini marshmallows: optional but fun for s'mores effect
2. Have Nutella at room temperature so it spreads easily. If it's too thick, microwave for 10-15 seconds in a microwave-safe bowl to soften.

🔹 Step 3: Assemble the Quesadillas
1. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
2. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of Nutella on half of the tortilla. Leave a ½ inch margin around the edge.
3. Add optional fillings over the Nutella (don't overload).
4. Fold the tortilla in half to make a half-moon shape.

✅ Repeat with remaining tortillas.

🔹 Step 4: Cook the Quesadillas
1. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
2. Lightly brush the outside of each folded quesadilla (both sides) with melted butter.
3. Place 1-2 quesadillas in the skillet at a time.
4. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until:
• Golden brown
• Slightly crisp
• Nutella is melted inside
5. Transfer to a plate or wire rack.

🔹 Step 5: Cinnamon Sugar Coating
1. Immediately after removing from the pan, brush one more thin layer of melted butter on the quesadilla.
2. Sprinkle (or dredge) each side generously with cinnamon sugar mixture, pressing lightly so it adheres.
3. Let sit for 1-2 minutes to set.

🍩 Think "churro exterior with Nutella interior."

🔹 Step 6: Slice and Serve
1. Slice each quesadilla into 3-4 wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
2. Serve warm, ideally right after coating.
