Instructions

Prepare Tortilla with Spread: Lay one of the tortillas flat on a cutting board, and spread 2 tablespoons of your chosen spread (peanut butter, cream cheese, or Nutella) evenly over the top to create a flavorful base.
Place the Banana: Place the peeled banana at one end of the tortilla. If the banana is curved, gently straighten it to fit better — slight cracking is okay.
Roll the Banana: Roll the banana snugly inside the tortilla, like rolling someone in a rug. Once rolled, place the tortilla roll seam-side-down on the cutting board to keep it intact.
Add Toppings: Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of the chosen spread evenly over the outside of the tortilla roll. Sprinkle your topping choice on top: chopped peanuts for peanut butter, crushed freeze-dried strawberries for cream cheese, or shredded coconut for Nutella.
Slice and Serve: Slice the roll into approximately 1-inch sushi-sized pieces. Serve on a plate with chopsticks for an extra fun presentation.

Notes

You can use gluten-free tortillas if needed for dietary preferences.
Choose ripe but firm bananas to make rolling easier without breaking.
Feel free to swap toppings based on availability or personal taste.
Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.
This snack is kid-friendly and perfect for quick lunchboxes or playtime treats.
