Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons sunflower butter (creamy or crunchy, unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons jam or jelly (strawberry, grape, raspberry, or your choice)
- 1 large flour tortilla (8-inch, soft and flexible; whole wheat optional)
- Optional: thinly sliced bananas or apple slices
- Optional: honey or maple syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- Place one large flour tortilla flat on a cutting board or plate.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons (30 g) of sunflower butter evenly across the tortilla, leaving about half an inch clear around the edges.
- Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of your favorite jam on top of the sunflower butter and spread gently but thoroughly.
- If desired, place thin slices of banana or apple in a single line near one edge of the tortilla.
- Starting from the edge with the fruit (if using), roll the tortilla tightly but gently until fully wrapped.
- Using a sharp or serrated knife, cut the roll into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick pieces, yielding about 6-8 sushi pieces per tortilla.
- Arrange the rolls in a lunchbox lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Notes
Warm the tortilla for 10 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel if it is dry or stiff to make rolling easier. Use a serrated knife and wipe the blade clean between cuts to keep edges neat. Store rolls tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Avoid freezing as texture changes. Optional add-ins like banana or apple slices add freshness and crunch.
