Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ripe banana, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 1 teaspoon butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortillas: Spread peanut butter evenly over one side of each flour tortilla to ensure a creamy base for the filling.
- Add Banana and Cinnamon: Arrange the banana slices evenly over one of the peanut-buttered tortillas. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and drizzle honey on top if you desire a sweeter touch.
- Assemble the Quesadilla: Place the second tortilla on top, peanut butter side down, to form a sandwich, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat the Pan: Warm the butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat, preparing it for cooking the quesadilla.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp. Flip carefully to avoid spillage.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from heat, let it cool for a minute to set, then slice into wedges and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Substitute whole wheat tortillas for extra fiber and nutrients.
- Use almond butter or other nut butters as an alternative for varied flavors.
- For a dessert version, sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the banana before grilling.
