RIPEN BANANA IN THE MICROWAVE

Steps:

• 1. Peel and slice banana or bananas in a microwave safe bowl. Cover with waxed paper. Microwave for one minute. Mash with a fork. Let cool. Ready to use in your favorite recipe when cool and have ripened(turned dark).
• 2. Note: I sliced 3 bananas in a bowl and it only took 1 minute to get them ripe. But every microwave is different. Make sure to let them cool on the cupboard as they turn black and ripen sweetly as they cool. Hugs,Pat
• 3. Note: Here is another banana fact: Place a piece of plastic wrap or foil tightly around the stem ends of a bunch of banana and they will stay fresh and yellow longer and not turn dark- if you want to keep them fresh. It works I've tried it. Have had bananas on the counter for 1 week already still fresh!

MICROWAVE BANANA PUDDING

TORTILLA BANANA SURPRISE WRAPS

Steps:

• Remove stems & puree strawberries with 1 tbsp powdered sugar. Set aside.
• Combine room temp low-fat cream cheese with 1 tbsp powdered sugar & set aside.
• Peel & halve the bananas, then split each half again -- but lengthwise.
• Begin to assemble the tortilla wraps by 1st placing 2 banana quarters side-by-side in the center of ea flour tortilla.
• Fold the 2 side edges of the tortillas over to encircle the banana halves.
• 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.
• 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.).
• 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.
• 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.
