Description
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Quesadilla
Quick, gooey, sweet snack or dessert
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: sprinkle of cinnamon or drizzle of honey for finishing
Instructions
1. Assemble the Quesadilla
-
Lay the tortilla flat. Spread peanut butter evenly over one half of the tortilla.
-
Layer the banana slices over the peanut butter.
-
Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Keep fillings about ½ inch from the edge.
2. Fold
-
Fold the empty side of the tortilla over the filled side to make a half-moon.
-
Press the edges gently to seal.
3. Cook
-
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
-
Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes until golden and the chocolate begins to melt.
-
Flip carefully and cook another 2–3 minutes until both sides are golden and crisp.
-
Tip: Cover with a lid for the first minute on each side to help the filling melt evenly.
4. Rest and Slice
-
Transfer to a cutting board and let it rest 1 minute.
-
Slice into 2–3 wedges and serve immediately.
Notes
-
Elvis Special: Add cooked, crispy bacon with the banana.
-
Berry Bliss: Swap half the banana for raspberries or strawberries.
-
Tropical Escape: Use sliced strawberries and shredded coconut instead of banana. Drizzle caramel if desired.
-
Granola Crunch: Add a tablespoon of granola inside before cooking.
-
Double Chocolate: Use a chocolate tortilla or Nutella instead of peanut butter.
