DESSERT QUESADILLA
Needless to say when I received this package last week from Mission Foods of their newest Super Soft Tortillas I was pretty darn happy. I love tortillas for all types of meals from quesadillas to burritos to enchiladas. I will say that these Dessert Quesadillas are a new favorite in my house!
Who doesn’t love a warm, toasted tortilla with chocolate, bananas and strawberries in it. This quesadilla works great as a snack for the kids after school or a special breakfast.
WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE IN THIS DESSERT QUESADILLA?
TORTILLAS: The tortillas will hold the ingredients together and create a crispy shell for the fruit, peanut butter and chocolate.
FRUIT: This recipe uses strawberries and bananas. You can use any fruit you like.
CHOCOLATE: The chocolate is the best part, right? I like to use chocolate chips because they are small and melt nicely. Try dark chocolate for a little healthier version!
PEANUT BUTTER: The peanut butter adds protein and a creamy texture. You can leave it out if you like.
When I crave sweets, I like to have some sort of fruit mixed in to balance it out. When you take a bite of a this quesadilla, you get a bite of chocolate, peanut butter, banana and strawberry all at once. It is heavenly!
If there is one thing that bothers me with tortillas, it is when they are hard, don’t roll or fold easily, and end up cracking. Or how about when you are eating a wrap and everything just comes falling out because the tortilla is hard to manage? These new super soft tortillas are just what they say – super soft, easy to work with to create all of those things you love to use tortillas for.
HOW DO I MAKE A DESSERT QUESADILLA?
Set your oven to 350 degrees, grab two tortillas and rub one side of each tortilla with olive oil.
Lay out your bottom tortilla (olive oil side on the cutting board) and set the top tortilla to the side.
Spread the peanut butter on the tortilla. You could also use almond butter or nutella.
Slice the banana and lay the slices over the peanut butter.
Slice the strawberries and lay those over the banana.
Then sprinkle the chocolate chips over the strawberries.
Place the top tortilla on the quesadilla (olive oil side up).
Transfer the quesadilla onto a baking sheet with aluminum foil and sprinkle the top of the quesadilla with cinnamon and sugar. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes (flipping over at 7 minutes). Make sure the chocolate melted on the inside. Remove from the oven and wallah! You can also use a skillet.

These look so yummy!! My kids would love them! I’m going to make them a little healthier trying out whole wheat tortillas.
I love that idea! I hope you guys like them.
Just found this recipe on Pinterest. Can’t wait to try it.
Thanks Janet!
Could you do this on a George Foreman Grill? Seems like it would be easier so you don’t have to flip it.
That is a great idea! I bet you could. That would make it easier–sometimes using just a skillet makes the flipping part hard (to keep everything inside).
These look SO good! I am envisioning one with strawberries and Nutella – yum!
Yes! A few people have mentioned nutella-what a great idea!
What a fabulous idea for a quesadilla! sounds like an amazing dessert!
You would love it. I hope get to try it out–it is very easy to make!
Anything with peanut butter + chocolate calls my name! I love that I could have this for breakfast and not feel ridiculously guilty about it 😉 I’ll have to check out those new tortillas – I hate when mine fall apart too!
Peanut butter and chocolate really is one of the best combos out there! These tortillas are great–very soft and perfect for all kinds of meals! Have a great weekend.
This looks super yummy! I love quick and easy snacks/desserts that are packed full of fruit 🙂
Thanks! It is really easy to make and tastes great! Let me know if you try it out.
Wow. I had no idea there would be so many good things inside of those tortillas. Peanut Butter, chocolate, strawberries, and bananas! Wow. I feel like these would go great with hot chocolate or coffee.
I know! The pictures are deceiving and the title probably doesn’t do it justice. Coffee with this quesadilla would be wonderful right about now.
Mmm, my mouth is watering! I love the flavor combo!
Thanks! The flavor combo is really tasty with these..almost like peanut butter and jelly but then you throw the banana & chocolate in there and it is even better.
I had tried nutella and quesadilla once but never the peanut butter combo! Great idea, thanks.
