Banana Nutella Folded Tortilla (Print Version)

A quick, warm dessert of Nutella, bananas, and folded crispy tortilla for a sweet snack.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main

01 - 2 large flour tortillas
02 - 4 tablespoons Nutella or chocolate-hazelnut spread
03 - 2 medium ripe bananas, sliced
04 - 2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts (optional)
05 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for frying

→ Garnish (optional)

06 - Powdered sugar for dusting
07 - Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to serve

# How-To Steps:

01 - Place one tortilla flat on a cutting board and cut from the center to the edge, creating a single radius cut.
02 - Visualize the tortilla as four quarters. Spread 2 tablespoons Nutella on the first quarter, add half the banana slices to the second, sprinkle 1 tablespoon chopped hazelnuts on the third (optional), and leave the fourth plain or add more Nutella if preferred.
03 - Starting at the cut edge, fold the Nutella-covered quarter over the bananas, then over the hazelnuts, and finally over the plain quarter to form a compact triangle.
04 - Use the remaining ingredients to prepare the second wrap following the same method.
05 - Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each folded wrap for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
06 - Serve the wraps warm, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in ten minutes flat, which means you can satisfy chocolate cravings without the guilt of a full dessert production.
  • The contrast between crispy tortilla edges and melting Nutella with soft banana is genuinely addictive, like the best accident you've ever had in a skillet.
  • You can make it exactly how you want it—this isn't precious or fussy, it's flexible and forgiving.
02 -
  • If your tortillas are cold or stiff straight from the fridge, run them under warm water or microwave them for ten seconds first, otherwise folding them will end in cracking and frustration.
  • Don't skimp on the butter in the pan—the whole magic of this is getting the tortilla edges crispy and toasted, which requires enough fat to actually cook with, not just a light coating.
03 -
  • If you're making these for a crowd, keep the cooked wraps warm on a plate in a low oven while you work through the batch, so everyone eats them hot rather than waiting around for yours to finish cooking.
  • A non-stick skillet is genuinely important here because the Nutella can stick if you use a regular pan, and scraping that cleanup off later isn't worth the few minutes you save by not seasoning a cast iron properly.
