Base Ingredients
- 4 small taco shells
Filling
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup caramel sauce
Toppings
- 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 warm the taco shells evenly without burning.
- Warm taco shells: Arrange the taco shells on a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, allowing them to become warm and slightly crisp.
- Prepare banana mixture: In a bowl, gently toss the sliced bananas with half of the caramel sauce to coat them thoroughly and infuse sweetness.
- Fill shells: Remove the warm taco shells from the oven and carefully spoon the banana and caramel mixture into each shell.
- Drizzle caramel: Evenly drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the filled taco shells to enhance flavor and appearance.
- Add nuts: Sprinkle the chopped nuts generously on top of the caramel-drizzled bananas to add texture and a nutty crunch.
- Serve with whipped cream: Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream on each taco for a creamy finishing touch before serving immediately.
Notes
- Use small taco shells for easy handling and perfect portion size.
- Choose ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and softness.
- Chopped walnuts and pecans both work well, but you can substitute with your preferred nuts.
- For an extra touch, lightly toast the nuts before sprinkling to enhance flavor.
- Serve immediately after assembly to keep taco shells crisp and toppings fresh.
