For a delicious and easy snack, why not try one of these peanut butter quesadillas recipes? Move over, cheese and salsa – you can actually make some very delicious and unusual variations of the quesadilla with peanut butter.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Quesadilla
Nothing goes with peanut butter like it’s good old friend jelly. If you’re looking for a new variety of the classic OB & J sandwich, this is just as easy to make and will give you the variety and something new you are looking for.
You Will Need
2 Flour or Rice Tortillas
4 tablespoons of peanut butter
4 tablespoons of jelly
Directions: Spread the peanut butter on one side of the tortilla, then spread the jelly on top. You can use more or less peanut butter and jelly if you want, it is up to your own individual preferences. Place the second tortilla on top to make a “sandwich”.
If you have a quesadilla maker, you can just place it in and cook according to the manufacturer’s directions. If you do not have one, don’t worry, you can still make these! Simply heat up a skillet with a small amount of butter and grill the tortilla for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned. Cut into wedges and serve.
This is best with grape or strawberry jelly (in our opinion at least!) but any type of jelly, jam, or fruit spread will do.
Peanut Butter Apple Quesadilla
Apples also go really well with peanut butter, so this is another variation on the above recipe. The apples add a little crunch and a nice flavor.
You Will Need:
2 Flour or Rice Tortillas
4 tablespoons peanut butter
1 apple, peeled, cored, and sliced
Directions: You will want to make sure the apple is sliced into pieces that are “bite size” – typically I will cut the regular slices in half. They are also good thin. Take the peanut butter and spread it along the first tortilla, then place the apple slices all around it. Next, place the second tortilla on top to make a “sandwich”. You can either make this on a quesadilla maker, or you can fry in a frying pan on medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the edges are nicely browned. Cut into wedges and enjoy!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Quesadilla
Who doesn’t love chocolate? A banana and semi-sweet chocolate chips makes this a nice treat to share with friends and family.
You Will Need:
2 tortillas
4 tablespoons peanut butter
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 small-medium sized banana
Directions: Spread the peanut butter on one of the tortillas. Peel the banana and cut into slices (circle shaped works well). Spread the banana onto the peanut butter covered tortilla, then add the chocolate chips spread and layered on top. Then, place the second tortilla on top to make the sandwich. Cook in your quesadilla maker, or grill on medium high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the edges are browned and the chocolate inside has melted. Cut into wedges and serve.
