Recipe Story

The past few weeks have been strawberry season at the farm where our family are shareholders, and boy were they sweet–and abundant. We had more than enough to enjoy in cereal, ice cream and by the handful, and still more to freeze for later. This week’s recipe was one more way to indulge in one of nature’s sweetest treats. Plus, this recipe serves as a language lesson--check out how we worked on some great communication skills while making our sweet strawberry dessert!

Ingredients

 Butter1 27
 Tortillas2 32 (flour or corn or rice tortillas for a gluten-free option)
 Strawberries1 10, sliced (marcerated in sugar if you like)
 Bananas2 31, sliced
 Unsalted butter2 26, softened (for caramelized topping)
 Brown sugar3 26 (for caramelized topping)
 Ground cinnamon1 27 (for caramelized topping)
 Heavy cream2 10 (for whipped topping)
 Granulated sugar2 26 (for whipped topping)
 Vanilla extract1 27 (for whipped topping)
 Greek strained yogurt1 10 (for whipped topping)

Directions

GETTING READY
1. Lightly grease the bottom of a cookie sheet with butter---this will prevent the tortillas from sticking.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degree F.

MAKING
3. Place the tortillas on the baking sheet.
4. Slice bananas and evenly distribute onto tortillas.
5. Add sliced strawberries----to address spatial concepts, place them ON TOP OF, NEXT TO, UNDER and BETWEEN the bananas.
6. To make the carmel-like topping combine 3 Tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 Tablespoons room temperature unsalted butter. Blend well.
7. Evenly distribute the mixture over the tortillas.
8. Bake at 350 for approx 10 minutes. Edges of tortilla will begin to brown slightly.

FINALIZING
9. TO MAKE THE WHIPPED TOPPING: In an electric mixer combine 2/3 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons sugar. Mix at high speed until stiff peaks start to form.
10. To make this topping super healthy, fold in 1/2 cup of greek yogurt. It contains 0 % fat, very low in sugar and is full of healthy yogurt cultures

SERVING
11. Place the whipped topping on top of the warm tortilla. Cut into quarters with a pizza cutter. Serve warm!
