Equipment
- 1 Knife For slicing the banana
- 1 Cutting Board For preparing the banana
- 1 Spreading Utensil e.g., butter knife or small spatula for peanut butter
Ingredients
Main
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 flour tortilla
- 1 banana sliced
Instructions
- Gather all necessary ingredients and equipment.
- Slice the banana into even, approximately 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- Lay the flour tortilla flat on a clean cutting board or work surface.
- Evenly spread the peanut butter across the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange the sliced banana pieces over the peanut butter-covered tortilla.
- Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one edge to the other to form a log, or fold it in half and then in half again to create a triangular wedge.
- If desired, slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels or cut the folded tortilla into smaller, manageable wedges.
- Serve immediately for best enjoyment.
Notes
For optimal spreadability, ensure your peanut butter is at room temperature. A slightly ripe banana will offer superior sweetness and a softer texture. Consider briefly warming the tortilla in a dry pan or microwave for 10-15 seconds; this enhances pliability, preventing tears when rolling and making it easier to work with. To elevate the flavor profile, a light sprinkle of cinnamon, a drizzle of honey, or a few miniature chocolate chips can be added before rolling. For a sophisticated presentation, roll the tortilla tightly and slice into pinwheels, resembling 'sushi,' rather than simply folding into wedges.
