Ingredients

• 1 cup thinly sliced strawberries
• 3 tablespoons 100% pure fruit seedless strawberry jelly
• 2 Flatout flatbreads (we use Light Original)
• All-natural nonstick cooking spray or sprayed canola oil
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 4 "planks" fresh pineapple (cut from about half of a peeled, cored fresh pineapple, see note)
• 1 banana, unpeeled, cut crosswise and then lengthwise into 4 "planks"
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
• optional, for serving: your favorite reduced-fat vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt (preferably organic or all-natural)

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare and preheat grill.
In a small bowl, stir together strawberries and jelly. Set aside. (The longer you let this sit, the more liquid-y your strawberry sauce will become.)
Lightly spray both sides of each Flatout with cooking spray. Sprinkle each side with ¼ teaspoon of brown sugar and then 1/16 teaspoon of cinnamon, using your fingers to lightly rub the sugar and cinnamon to distribute them evenly across the flatbreads.
Grill the flatbreads over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side, just until they begin to turn golden brown and grill marks form.
Remove the flatbreads to a cutting board and immediately cut them into triangular "nacho chips" as shown in the photo in the post above. The chips will continue to get crispier as they sit, so if you wait even a couple of minutes before you begin to cut them, they won't cut as nicely and will tend to break into uneven shapes. Set chips aside.
Lay pineapple "planks" crosswise on grill grates and close the lid. Turn pineapple occasionally to develop grill marks on all sides, which should take about 8-10 minutes.
In the last few minutes of grilling, add unpeeled bananas to the grill, peel side up and crosswise on grates. Grill bananas on flesh side only, just until gently warmed with sear marks. We recommend that you don't grill them so long that they begin to get hot and mushy, but that is strictly personal preference.
Remove fruit from grill, and (as soon as it's cool enough to safely handle) peel bananas and cut fruit into thin slices.
Layer "nacho chips," strawberry sauce, grilled fruit slices, and chocolate chips.
Serve immediately, with ice cream or frozen yogurt, if desired.
