Caramel Banana Nuts Tacos
Crispy taco shells filled with ripe bananas, fresh whipped cream, crunchy nuts, and rich caramel sauce create a quick and delightful sweet treat perfect for any occasion.
Equipment
- 1 baking sheet for heating taco shells
- 1 whisk to whip cream
- 1 knife for slicing bananas
Ingredients
- 4 crispy sturdy thick taco shells
- 2 ripe bananas with slight brown speckles
- 1 cup fresh or stabilized whipped cream
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted walnuts pecans, or peanuts
- 1/3 cup thick rich caramel sauce without artificial flavors
- Optional: warmed chocolate sauce or crushed cookies for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and warm taco shells on a baking sheet for 4 minutes until crisp.
- Peel and slice bananas into thick coins or strips and evenly layer them in the warm taco shells.
- Whip cold cream with a little sugar to soft peaks, or use store-bought whipped cream, then spoon or pipe generously over the bananas.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the whipped cream, pressing lightly to help them stick.
- Slowly drizzle caramel sauce over the nuts and cream to fully coat the layers.

Notes
Warm shells immediately before filling for crunch; use ripe bananas and assemble just before serving to avoid sogginess.
