Tortilla Banana Surprise Wraps - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 firm bananas (not overly ripe or green)
    4 (8 inch) flour tortillas
    12 large strawberries
    1/2 cup low-fat cream cheese (room temp)
    2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Preparation
    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.
