Banana Nutella Folded Tortilla (Print Version)

Sweet bananas and Nutella wrapped in a crispy tortilla for a fast, delicious treat.

# What You 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 a tortilla flat on a cutting board and make a single cut from the center to the edge.
02 - Visualize the tortilla divided into four quarters and layer: spread 2 tablespoons Nutella on quarter one, place half the banana slices on quarter two, sprinkle 1 tablespoon chopped hazelnuts on quarter three (optional), and leave quarter four plain or add extra Nutella.
03 - Starting at the cut edge, fold the quarter with Nutella over the bananas, then over the hazelnuts, and finally over the last quarter to form a compact triangular wrap.
04 - Repeat the layering and folding process with the second tortilla and remaining ingredients.
05 - Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the folded wraps for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
06 - Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream as desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in ten minutes flat, which means dessert doesn't require planning or apologies.
  • The contrast between crispy exterior and warm, gooey center is genuinely addictive.
  • You can make it with what's already in your pantry—no special shopping required.
02 -
  • The cut matters more than you'd think—it prevents the tortilla from bunching up and ensures even, neat folding.
  • Cook over medium heat, not high; too much heat hardens the tortilla before the inside gets warm and melty.
  • Fresh tortillas are crucial because stale ones tear when you fold—if yours are a few days old, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for twenty seconds first.
03 -
  • If your Nutella is too cold to spread, microwave the jar for just fifteen seconds; cold spread will tear the tortilla.
  • The medium heat setting is non-negotiable—it's the difference between golden and burnt, between warm-gooey and dried-out.
