Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 small taco shells
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the taco shells warm evenly.
- Warm Taco Shells: Place the taco shells on a baking sheet and warm them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes until they are crisp and ready to fill.
- Prepare Banana Mixture: In a bowl, combine the sliced bananas with half of the caramel sauce, mixing gently to coat the bananas without mashing them.
- Fill Taco Shells: Remove the warmed taco shells from the oven and carefully fill each shell with the banana and caramel mixture.
- Add More Caramel: Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce evenly over the filled tacos to enhance the sweetness and flavor.
- Top with Nuts: Sprinkle the chopped nuts over each taco for a crunchy texture and nutty taste.
- Serve with Whipped Cream: Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra creaminess and indulgence before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent the filling from becoming too mushy.
- The recipe works well with walnuts or pecans, but feel free to use your favorite nuts or a mix.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the taco shells with gluten-free shells or crispy rice paper.
- Warm the caramel sauce slightly if it has thickened for easier drizzling.
- This dessert is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm shells and cool whipped cream.
