Full Ingredients
Base
- 2 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
Yogurt “Spread”
- 1/2 cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk gives the best texture)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey (or maple syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Fruit Filling
- 1 cup (150 g) strawberries, hulled and diced (about 1/4-inch pieces)
- 1 medium banana, thinly sliced (about 1/8-inch thick)
- 1/2 cup (75 g) blueberries
Crunchy Topping
- 1/3 cup (35 g) granola
Optional Add-Ins (Choose One or Two)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (stir into the yogurt mixture)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep your fruit for easy rolling
Wash and dry the berries. Hull and dice the strawberries into small pieces (about 1/4-inch) so the rolls slice cleanly. Thinly slice the banana (about 1/8-inch thick). Keep the fruit on a plate or cutting board so it’s ready to grab as soon as the tortillas are spread.
Step 2: Warm the tortillas so they roll without cracking
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat (aim for about 350°F/175°C surface temperature). Warm each tortilla for 10–15 seconds per side, just until flexible (you don’t want them crisp).
Transfer to a plate and let cool for 1 minute. (If they’re too hot, the yogurt can get runny and slide around.)
Step 3: Mix the yogurt spread
In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and kosher salt until smooth and glossy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed (add an extra 1 teaspoon honey if your fruit is tart).
Step 4: Spread the yogurt evenly (and leave a sealing edge)
Lay one tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spread 1/4 cup of the yogurt mixture in an even layer, going nearly to the edges.
Important: Leave a 1-inch border along the far edge (the edge you’ll finish rolling toward). This makes the roll easier to seal and helps prevent the filling from squeezing out.
Repeat with the second tortilla and the remaining yogurt mixture.
Step 5: Add the fruit in a neat line for a “sushi” center
Near the bottom edge of the tortilla (closest to you), arrange the fruit in a horizontal strip: a line of banana slices, then tuck strawberries and blueberries alongside. Try to keep the fruit line about 1 1/2 inches wide so the roll stays tight.
Avoid overfilling. Too much fruit makes the roll bulge and can cause it to split when sliced.
Step 6: Roll tightly and let it set
Starting at the fruit edge, roll the tortilla up tightly, like you would for a wrap. Use your fingers to keep the fruit line in place as you roll, and gently pull back as you go to keep tension.
Place the roll seam-side down and let it rest for 2 minutes. This helps the yogurt act like “glue” so the roll stays closed.
Step 7: Slice cleanly into “sushi” pieces
Use a very sharp knife. If your knife is sticking, wipe it clean between cuts (or lightly dampen the blade with water and wipe off excess).
Trim off the ends (chef’s snack), then slice each roll into 8 equal pieces (about 1 to 1 1/4 inches thick). Arrange cut-side up on a plate or serving board.
Step 8: Add granola right before serving for maximum crunch
Sprinkle 1/3 cup granola over the pieces just before serving so it stays crisp. If you like, drizzle with an extra 1 teaspoon honey for shine and sweetness.
Pro Tips
- Use thick yogurt: Greek yogurt (not runny) helps everything stay put and keeps the rolls from getting soggy.
- Dry your fruit well: Water on berries can thin the yogurt and make the tortilla slippery.
- Small dice, neat line: Smaller fruit pieces and a single “stripe” of filling give you tidy slices with a clear center.
- Chill for cleaner slices: If you have time, chill the rolled wraps seam-side down for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Granola last: Sprinkle right before eating so it stays crunchy instead of absorbing moisture.
Variations
- Tropical roll: Use 1/2 cup diced mango + 1/2 cup diced pineapple, swap honey for maple syrup, and top with toasted coconut.
- PB&J breakfast sushi: Stir 1 tablespoon peanut butter into the yogurt mixture, use strawberries and raspberries, and top with crushed peanuts instead of granola.
- Thin pancake version: Replace tortillas with 2 thin crepes or very thin pancakes (about 10 inches). Warm briefly, then roll and slice the same way.
Storage & Make-Ahead
These are best eaten right away for the freshest texture. If you want to prep ahead, you have a few good options:
- Make-ahead components (best option): Mix the yogurt spread and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Wash/dry berries and store for up to 2 days. Slice banana right before assembling.
- Assembled rolls (short-term): Roll the tortillas (without granola), wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 12 hours. Slice just before serving. Expect slightly softer tortillas.
- Leftovers: Store sliced pieces in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Keep granola separate and add at serving time.
