Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter

1 cup mini chocolate chips

1 ripe banana, sliced

1/2 cup granola (choose your favorite)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Cooking spray or butter for grilling

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Quesadilla: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 cup of peanut butter evenly over half of the tortilla.

    Layer the Goodies: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips over the peanut butter. Add a few slices of banana and a tablespoon of granola on top. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if you want an extra touch of sweetness.

      Fold and Cook: Gently fold the tortilla in half, covering the fillings. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or butter. Carefully place the quesadilla in the skillet.

        Grill It Up: Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden and crispy. Use a spatula to flip it and cook the other side for an additional 2–3 minutes until both sides are beautifully browned.

          Slice and Serve: Once the quesadilla is golden and delicious, remove it from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges. Dust with powdered sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.

            Pack for School: For a fun lunchbox snack, wrap the wedges in parchment paper and place them in a container. These can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
