Chocolate, Walnut, & Berry Quesadillas

7/31/2023

0 Comments

 
This is one of those accidental recipes that you throw together when you’re hungry and then realize how delicious it is! 
Warning: these dessert quesadillas are addicting. The walnuts, blueberries, and chocolate go surprisingly well together.

Talk about ancient foods – blueberries are right up there with some of the oldest.

They’re native to North America and Native Americans started picking them at least 13,000 years ago.

There is one big reason these little berries are on just about every “superfood” list.


There’s SO much nutrition packed into one tiny berry!


In fact, they have one of the highest antioxidant levels of nearly all fruits & veggies.

  • May lower the risk of DNA damage, protecting against cancer & aging
  • Helps fight diabetes
  • May stop cholesterol from oxidizing (important for heart health)
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Contain brain-friendly compounds that may help with memory
  • May speed up workout recovery
  • May help prevent urinary tract infections

Plus they taste GREAT – as a snack, in oatmeal or smoothies, sprinkled over salads, and even added to salsa. (yum!)​

Picture
(Makes 4 servings)
  • 2 x 10-inch whole-grain tortillas
  • 1.5 ounces dark chocolate
  • 2-3 Tbsp walnut butter
  • ½ to ¾ cup blueberries
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and place a tortilla in it, warming it for 30-60 seconds on each side. Repeat with the second tortilla.

While the tortillas are warming, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave for about 1 minute, or in a small double boiler. Be sure to stir the chocolate occasionally while it’s warming so that it melts evenly.


Place one warmed tortilla on a plate and spread the walnut butter on it, ensuring it’s covered right up to the edges. Sprinkle the blueberries over the walnut butter, and then drizzle with the melted chocolate.


Top with the other tortilla, lightly pressing it down to gently “smush” the mixture together. 


Cut into quarters and serve!

Enjoy!
