One of the easiest desserts I have ever made.
You can really add any pie filling, pudding, or fruits you like inside this tortilla, but raspberry is my favorite, and that's what I used in mine.
A versatile dessert made in minutes, and can be quick with just three ingredients: butter, flour, tortillas, and pie filling.
Endless Possibilities for Dessert Tortilla
I have always thought that flour tortillas were just for savory meals, but boy, was I wrong.
Then, one year for Cinco de Mayo, we tried bananas, cinnamon, and ice cream on top, and it was so delicious in a crispy tortilla. We experimented with all kinds of fillings.
The best part was that, as long as you have simple ingredients in your pantry, you can make just about any filling you like.
We started to keep Nutella on hand, pie filling, and even some premade pudding; they all worked great.
Then we used a tablespoon of softened cream cheese, strawberries, and strawberry puree on top during the fresh strawberry season; those were amazing as well.
One day, the kids added chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and coconut, so just get creative and invent your own dessert.
