  • 3 peel & halve the bananas, then split each half again -- but lengthwise.
  • 4 begin to assemble the tortilla wraps by 1st placing 2 banana quarters side-by-side in the center of ea flour tortilla.
  • 5 fold the 2 side edges of the tortillas over to encircle the banana halves.
  • 6 fold the open ends in slightly & then the entire end back over any exposed tortilla edges to form a wrap with all edges on 1 side.
  • 7 place the wraps (exposed edges down) in a dry skillet & brown the tortilla over med heat, turning several times. (the 1st browning will "seal" the edge side & keep the tortillas in a uniform shape as you continue to brown.).
  • 8 transfer tortillas to dessert plates. spoon 1/4 of the strawberry puree over each tortilla & 1/4 of the cream cheese in the center. serve warm.
  • 9 note: this dish was created for a friend & written to be low-fat. you can dress it up by adding choc chips &/or nuts to the inside of the wrap w/the bananas or other options your imagination might envision.
