Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup chocolate chip cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter for a nut-free option)

1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers

1/4 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup banana slices (optional for a fruity flavor)

Cooking spray or butter for greasing the skillet

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prepare: Begin by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat. To ensure easy removal of the quesadilla, lightly grease the skillet with cooking spray or a small pat of butter.

    Spread the Base: Take one flour tortilla and spread a generous layer of peanut butter over one side, ensuring that it’s well-coated. This layer will serve as the flavorful binder for the delicious fillings to come.

      Add the Cookie Dough: Using a spoon, place dollops of chocolate chip cookie dough across the peanut butter surface, distributing them evenly. Be careful not to overfill, as you'll need to fold the tortilla without spilling the contents.

        Layer the Goodies: Sprinkle a handful of mini marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, and a few chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough. For a touch of freshness, add banana slices if you like.

          Fold and Cook: Carefully fold the tortilla in half, encasing the fillings within. Transfer the quesadilla to the preheated skillet and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on one side, or until it turns a beautiful golden brown.

            Flip and Finish: Gently flip the quesadilla using a spatula and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, until the opposite side is golden and the inside is wonderfully melty and gooey.

              Slice and Serve: Once both sides are perfectly cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut it into wedges and serve warm. For an extra treat, consider drizzling some melted chocolate or dusting with powdered sugar on top!
