Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

Flour tortillas
Flour tortillas replace graham crackers, providing structure and crispness when grilled.

Chocolate bars or chocolate chips
Chocolate melts into a rich, smooth layer that forms the heart of the filling.

Marshmallows
Marshmallows create the signature gooey texture and sweetness associated with s’mores.

Butter
Butter helps the tortillas brown evenly and adds richness and flavor.

Powdered sugar
Powdered sugar is optional but adds a light, decorative finish.

Directions

Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly butter one side of a tortilla and place it butter-side down in the pan.

Arrange chocolate evenly over the tortilla, followed by marshmallows. Top with a second tortilla and lightly butter the top side.

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is golden and crisp. Carefully flip and cook the other side until the tortilla is browned and the filling is fully melted.

Remove from the pan and let rest briefly before slicing into wedges. Dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
