Ingredients
Method
Make the Cinnamon Sugar Taco Shells
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Brush both sides of each flour tortilla with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over both sides.
- Drape each tortilla over two bars of your oven rack or over a muffin tin and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Let the shells cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Toast the Nuts
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the chopped nuts, and stir for about 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of brown sugar over the nuts and stir for another 60 to 90 seconds until the sugar coats the nuts.
- Pour onto parchment paper or a plate to cool.
Make the Caramel Banana Filling
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add 1/3 cup of brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of heavy cream slowly while stirring, then add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and a pinch of salt.
- Let simmer for about 2 minutes until it thickens slightly, then gently fold in the sliced bananas and warm for 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the Tacos
- Fill each taco shell with the caramel banana mixture, top with toasted nuts, and optionally add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of caramel, and sea salt.
Notes
Use ripe but firm bananas and refrigerate any leftover filling for up to 3 days. The tacos are best served fresh.
