Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Layer:

1 cup chocolate hazelnut spread

1 large tortilla (whole wheat or regular)

For the Strawberry Layer:

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

For the Vanilla Layer:

1 cup vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1-2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)

Toppings (optional):

Whipped cream

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Chocolate shavings

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Layer:

    - In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the strawberries in the sweet mixture. Let this sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the strawberries to macerate.

      Make the Vanilla Layer:

        - In a separate bowl, combine the vanilla Greek yogurt with the vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Stir until smooth, adjusting the sweetness based on your preference. Set aside to let the flavors develop.

          Assemble the Quesadilla:

            - Lay the large tortilla flat on a clean surface.

              - Evenly spread the chocolate hazelnut spread over one half of the tortilla.

                - On top of the chocolate layer, add the macerated strawberries, making sure to drain any excess liquid if necessary to avoid sogginess.

                  - Spoon the vanilla yogurt mixture over the strawberries.

                    - Gently fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape, encasing the delicious layers inside.

                      Cook the Quesadilla:

                        - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

                          - Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla turns golden brown and has a slightly crispy texture.

                            Serve:

                              - Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and allow it to cool for a minute. Slice it into wedges for easy serving.

                                - For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle with whipped cream, and garnish with fresh mint leaves and chocolate shavings.

                                  Enjoy!

                                    - Serve the quesadillas warm, relishing in the delightful combination of chocolate, strawberries, and vanilla that mirrors the classic Neapolitan cake in this creative and fun quesadilla format.
