Peanut Butter, Strawberry, & Banana Quesadillas1
Hey you!
Yes, YOU! I love you… a lot. You brighten my day time.
Now, let’s talk about quesadillas.
I really like them. Adore them. Salivite over them! Yeah, I’m quite odd but you’re most likely okay with that by now if you’re still scanning this.
Quesadillas are a traditional mexican dish that always involves cheese and a savory combination of vegetables and/or meats. They’re among my favorite meals to put together at the last-minute because it requires throwing delicious mixtures in a tortilla and toasting or frying it until crispy and fantastic brown. These days the original quesadillas have progressed into something wonderful: breakfast (or dessert) quesadillas!
It’s as simple as this: I am obsessed with the peanut butter and banana combo Typically when I’m in a rush I place the duo with an british muffin and barely remember inhaling my breakfast time, but I had been getting a little bored with that. So instead of the usual, I decided to make it interesting by making peanut butter and banana quesadillas and adding in seasonal, ripe strawberries for sort of PB&J twist.
My mind was IMPRESSED after one bite. In all seriousness, yours probably will be too.
If you’ve hardly ever experienced the peanut butter, strawberry, and banana combo-prepare to become amazed!
First of all-the strawberries in the quesadilla! They almost taste like these were roasted-exploding with flavor and juicyness from heat. It reminds me of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, except with a brand new, more interesting appeal. The crunch from the tortilla as well as the warm, creamy peanut butter makes me wish I could go back to grade school and
demand
ask nicely for this in my own lunchbox.
When coming up with quesadillas I usually use whole wheat-low carb tortillas because I really like the nutty flavor of these, plus wholegrains keep you fuller, much longer. I recommend using Joesph’s Tortillas , beef liver fry but any whole grain tortilla works well. This also will be an optimal pre or post-workout treat or meal because of the good carbs and healthy fats.
Additionally I HIGHLY recommend trying this for dessert. It’s quite guilt-free, perfect for sharing, and kids will even love them. Plus they are vegan, and you also could certainly make sure they are gluten-free through the use of GF tortillas.
The possibilities are endless! Think about it.
Wouldn’t updating nutella for peanut butter be dreamy? Or simply sprinkling in several mini chocolate chips? What about dipping them in a warm chocolate sauce?
That may be want tasting a little bite of heaven. But those are simply suggestions, feel absolve to get creative!

Just please note that following this quesadilla, you’ll never want to settle for a normal PB&J again. If you try them, make sure to let me know what you think.
