Here’s a twist on the traditional quesadilla, with the tasty pairing of two favorite foods – peanut butter and banana quesadillas. We almost always have tortillas, bananas, and peanut butter in the house, so this is an easy meal to pull together. The grilled tortilla gets nice and crispy, and the peanut butter-banana filling gets all warm and gooey. Yum!
Ingredients:
1 tortilla 2 Tablespoons natural peanut butter 1/2 banana, thinly sliced optional: drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of chocolate chips
Method:
Making a quesadilla is pretty simple, right? For this quesadilla, spread peanut butter all over the tortilla, then top one half with thin slices of banana. Using thin slices allows the banana to get warm and almost melty inside the tortilla. If you like, drizzle with a little honey or sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of the banana slices.
Fold in half and cook over medium heat until golden and toasty. I like to add a little butter to my hot pan, but it’s not necessary. Cut into wedges and serve warm. Peanut butter and banana quesadillas make a delicious breakfast, lunch, or after-school snack. Bonus: For the 10 minutes it took us to prep and cook our quesadilla, my toddler was busy slicing and eating the other half of the banana with a small butter knife. Win-win! Hungry for more peanut butter and banana goodness? Whip up a creamy chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie or a loaf of peanut butter banana bread.
