Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup jelly or jam
- 1 banana, sliced
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 4 large flour tortillas, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup jelly or jam, and 1 banana, sliced.
- Lay out a large flour tortilla on a clean, flat surface or a cutting board.
- Using a butter knife or a spatula, spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Next, take 2 tablespoons of jelly or jam and spread it over the peanut butter layer, ensuring it covers the same area.
- Evenly distribute a few slices of banana on top of the jelly layer, placing them in a straight line down the center of the tortilla.
- Starting from one end of the tortilla, carefully roll it up tightly, ensuring that the filling stays inside as you roll.
- Once rolled, you can slice the tortilla roll into smaller pieces, about 1-2 inches thick, for easy handling.
- Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients until you have made all the roll-ups.
- Arrange the PB and J roll-ups on a serving plate and enjoy them immediately or refrigerate them for later.
Tips
- Choose Your Tortillas Wisely: Opt for large flour tortillas for the best results, but feel free to experiment with whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist.
- Spread Evenly: When applying peanut butter and jelly, make sure to spread them evenly to ensure every bite is delicious. Leaving a small border around the edges prevents spills when rolling.
- Banana Alternatives: If bananas aren't your favorite, try adding thinly sliced strawberries or apples for a different flavor profile.
- Roll Tightly: Make sure to roll the tortillas tightly to keep the filling secure. This will help prevent any messy spills when you slice them.
- Cut with Care: Use a sharp knife to slice the roll-ups into bite-sized pieces. This will make for cleaner cuts and a more appealing presentation.
- Make Ahead: These roll-ups can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just be sure to wrap them in plastic wrap to keep them fresh!
- Add Some Crunch: For an extra texture boost, consider adding a sprinkle of granola or crushed nuts inside the roll-ups before rolling them up.
- Serve with Dipping Sauce: For a fun twist, serve your PB and J Roll Ups with a side of yogurt or chocolate sauce for dipping!
