Quick Peanut Butter and Pear Wrap


  • Author: Jenny

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Large Whole Wheat Tortilla (10-inch): The soft, pliable base for our wrap, offering fiber and complex carbs for sustained energy.
  • 2 Tablespoons Creamy Peanut Butter: The rich, savory, and protein-packed heart of the wrap. Use a natural variety for the best flavor and fewer additives.
  • 1 Medium Pear (such as Bosc or Anjou): Provides a sweet, juicy crunch and a wonderful textural contrast. Ensure it’s ripe but still firm.
  • 1 Teaspoon Honey or Maple Syrup (Optional): For an extra touch of sweetness to complement the pear and peanut butter.
  • ⅛ Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (Optional): Adds a warm, aromatic spice that elevates the overall flavor profile.

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Lay the whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean cutting board or plate. If you prefer a slightly warm and more pliable wrap, you can heat the tortilla in a dry skillet for about 15-20 seconds per side or microwave it for 10 seconds.
  2. Spread the Peanut Butter: Using a knife or a spatula, spread the 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges. This border will help prevent the filling from squeezing out when you roll it.
  3. Prepare the Pear: Wash and dry the pear thoroughly. You can choose to peel it or leave the skin on for extra fiber. Core the pear and slice it into thin, vertical strips (about ¼-inch thick).
  4. Arrange the Filling: Arrange the pear slices in a single line down the center of the peanut butter-covered tortilla. If using, drizzle the honey or maple syrup directly over the pear slices and then sprinkle with the ground cinnamon.
  5. Roll It Up: Tightly roll the tortilla, starting from one end and rolling towards the other. The peanut butter will act as a “glue” to hold the wrap together securely.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: You can eat the wrap whole or slice it in half on a diagonal for a more appealing presentation. For a fun, bite-sized option, you can also slice it into 1-inch thick “pinwheels.”
