Ingredients
  

4 tortilla wraps (whole wheat or regular)

1 cup fig jam (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

2 tablespoons honey (optional, for drizzling)

Cooking spray or 1 tablespoon butter (for frying)

Fresh figs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out two tortilla wraps on a clean surface or plate.

    Spread the Fillings: On each tortilla, spread a generous layer of fig jam, followed by dollops of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. If desired, add a pinch of cinnamon for added flavor.

      Top and Seal: Place the remaining two tortillas on top of the filled ones, pressing down gently to seal them.

        Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the cooking spray or melt the butter over medium heat.

          Cook the Quesadillas: Carefully place one quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

            Flip Carefully: Use a spatula to flip the quesadilla. You can cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt quickly.

              Remove and Cut: Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Let it cool for a minute, then slice it into wedges.

                Serve with Sweet Drizzle: Drizzle a little honey over the quesadilla wedges for extra sweetness and garnish with fresh figs if desired.

                  Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining quesadilla.
