    Place the two tortillas together so that the Nutella side and the peanut butter side are touching. Cook on a skillet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray on the stove on medium heat, flipping when the bottom starts to brown a bit.

    After the tortilla has browned on both sides and the filling has warmed up, remove from the hot skillet and cut into 8 slices with a pizza cutter. You can even sprinkle with a dusting of powdered sugar. While you have your powdered sugar out, you might want to try making these Powdered Sugar Zeppoles..
