Ingredients
Quesadilla Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla (burrito-sized or wrap of choice)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (or other nut/seed butter)
- 1 banana, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk, dark, or chopped chocolate)
Optional Toppings
- sprinkle of cinnamon
- drizzle of honey
Instructions
- Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the peanut butter over one half of the tortilla. Arrange the thin banana slices over the peanut butter, then sprinkle the chocolate chips on top, leaving about a ½ inch border around the edges to prevent spilling.
- Fold: Carefully fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filled side to create a half-moon shape. Gently press the edges together to seal the quesadilla and keep the fillings inside during cooking.
- Cook: Preheat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the chocolate starts melting. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy. For best results, cover the skillet with a lid during the first minute on each side to help melt the filling evenly.
- Rest and Slice: Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board and let it rest for 1 minute to allow fillings to set slightly. Slice into 2 to 3 wedges and serve immediately. Optionally, sprinkle with cinnamon or drizzle honey before serving for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use a non-stick or cast-iron skillet for best results to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or any nut/seed butter of choice.
- Try different types of chocolate chips such as semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate depending on your preference.
- Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or drizzle of honey enhances the flavor and adds a touch of sweetness.
- Be careful not to overfill the quesadilla to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to serve more people.
