Ingredients

Base ingredients

1 taco-size flour tortilla gluten-free tortilla option works wonderfully if needed
1 piece ripe but still slightly firm banana peeled; if very ripe, chill first for easier slicing

Peanut butter variation

3 tablespoons peanut butter divided; use smooth or crunchy based on preference
½ cup chopped peanuts for topping; toast lightly if desired

Cream cheese + strawberry variation

3 tablespoons softened cream cheese divided; room temperature makes spreading easier
2 pieces fresh strawberries thinly sliced for layering
2 tablespoons crushed freeze-dried strawberries for bright color and crunch

Nutella variation

3 tablespoons Nutella divided
2 tablespoons shredded coconut for topping; sweetened or unsweetened based on preference

Method

Preparation

Prepare your workspace and ingredients to keep banana from browning.
Lay one taco-size tortilla flat on the cutting board.
Spread 2 tablespoons of your chosen filling evenly across the top of the tortilla, leaving a 1 inch gap at the far edge.
Place the banana at one end of the tortilla.
Roll the banana snugly into the tortilla, tucking the edge over as you go until sealed.
Place the roll seam-side-down on the cutting board.
Spread the remaining filling evenly over the top.
Sprinkle your chosen topping over the roll.
Slice the roll into 1-inch sushi rounds using a sharp serrated knife.
Plate and serve immediately.

Notes

For variations, swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter for nut-free, use dairy-free options for vegan, and gluten-free tortillas if needed. Serve fresh for best texture and flavor.
