Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 large banana, sliced
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for easier spreading and rolling.
- Lay out the flour tortillas flat on a clean cutting board or kitchen surface.
- Using a spatula or butter knife, spread an even layer of peanut butter across each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Slice the banana into thin, uniform rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
- Arrange the banana slices in a single layer over the peanut butter, covering most of the tortilla surface.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the banana slices, distributing them consistently across the tortilla.
- Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, creating a compact cylindrical shape.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortillas into 1-inch thick pinwheel sections.
- Optional: For a warmer presentation, lightly toast the pinwheels in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until golden.
- Transfer pinwheels to a serving plate and serve immediately while ingredients are fresh and chocolate is slightly melted.
Tips
- • Room temperature ingredients are key: Make sure your tortillas, peanut butter, and banana are at room temperature for easier spreading and rolling.• Use a sharp knife for clean, even slices when cutting your pinwheels to ensure a professional presentation.• For extra flavor, try using different nut butters like almond or cashew butter as a variation.• If your tortillas are stiff, warm them slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.• For a more decadent version, drizzle melted chocolate or add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top before serving.• These pinwheels are best served immediately, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours if needed.
