Banana Quesadillas

Banana Quesadillas

1 pound cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 ripe bananas, peeled
1 t. banana extract
10 flour tortillas
4 t. butter
1/2 cup caramel sauce, give or take
4 medium bananas

I sliced the bananas thinly and dumped them, the sugar and the cream cheese and banana extract in the mixer together and beat until smooth. I would NOT use a hand mixer for this, as it is rather thick and will be hard on the motor. Use your big mixer or food processor. Note: This was absolutely untrue for me. It made a mess of my processor. My hand mixer had no problem with it. Spread about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the filling over half of each tortilla. Fold the other half over the filling and press lightly. Place on large plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until filling sets, about 30 minute or longer. In a large sauté pan, over medium heat, melt 1 T. of the butter and pan fry the tortillas in batches, about 2 minutes per side. To serve, slice each tortilla into thirds and arrange the slices in center of a serving plate. Slice remaining bananas and arrange slices on the sliced quesadillas, drizzle a couple spoonfuls of caramel sauce over
Variations:
1 t. vanilla extract and 1/4 to 1/2 t. ground cinnamon
Other toppings: Warmed Hot Fudge Sauce or even strawberries, even a couple squirts of "Redi Whip" would be good.
