Ingredients
  

2 large flour tortillas

1/2 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter

1 medium ripe banana, sliced

1 tablespoon honey (optional for extra sweetness)

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional for a chocolatey touch)

Butter or coconut oil for cooking

Fresh fruits such as strawberries or apple slices for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (if choosing to add it), and ground cinnamon. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well integrated.

    Assemble the Quesadilla: On a clean surface, take one tortilla and spread half of the peanut butter mixture evenly over it. Layer the fresh banana slices in a single layer on top of the peanut butter. If you’re a fan of chocolate, sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the bananas. Place the second tortilla on top to create a delicious sandwich.

      Cook the Quesadilla: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter or a teaspoon of coconut oil to the pan, swirling it to ensure the surface is well-coated. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, gently place the quesadilla in the skillet.

        Brown on Both Sides: Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until it turns golden brown and is slightly crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side. Press down gently with the spatula for even cooking and browning.

          Slice and Serve: Once both sides are perfectly browned and crispy, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and allow it to cool for a minute before slicing. Cut it into wedges or halves for easy serving. Pair with fresh fruit on the side to elevate this delightful snack, offering a fresh and balanced contrast.
