Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: flour tortillas, peanut butter, sliced strawberries, honey (if using), and butter for cooking.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
- While the skillet is heating, spread 1/4 cup of peanut butter evenly over one side of each of the two flour tortillas.
- Evenly distribute the sliced strawberries over the peanut butter on each tortilla. If desired, drizzle honey over the strawberries for added sweetness.
- Place one tortilla, peanut butter and strawberry side up, onto the heated skillet. Top it with the second tortilla, peanut butter side down, to create a quesadilla.
- Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula.
- Cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until it is also golden brown and the peanut butter is warm and slightly melted.
- Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Then, cut it into wedges.
- Serve the strawberry peanut butter quesadillas warm, optionally drizzled with additional honey or served with a side of fresh strawberries.
Tips
- • For the best results, use ripe, fresh strawberries to maximize sweetness and flavor. • Make sure your skillet is at medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even golden-brown crispiness. • If you want extra decadence, try using a flavored peanut butter like honey or cinnamon. • Let the quesadillas rest for a minute after cooking to allow the filling to set and prevent burning your mouth. • For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and natural peanut butter. • Don't overcrowd the strawberries—a single layer ensures even cooking and prevents sogginess. • Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature experience.
