Ingredients
4
crispy sturdy thick taco shells
3
ripe bananas with slight brown speckles
1
cup
fresh or stabilized whipped cream
½
cup
chopped roasted walnuts
pecans, or peanuts
½
cup
thick rich caramel sauce without artificial flavors
Optional: warmed chocolate sauce or crushed cookies for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and warm the taco shells on a baking sheet for 4 minutes until crisp.
Peel and slice bananas into thick coins or strips, then evenly layer inside each warm taco shell.
Whip cold cream with a small amount of sugar to soft peaks or use store-bought whipped cream, then spoon or pipe generously over banana slices.
Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the whipped cream, pressing lightly to help them adhere.
Slowly drizzle caramel sauce over the nuts and cream to coat the layers thoroughly.
Optionally, garnish with a swirl of warmed chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of crushed cookies for enhanced presentation.
Notes
Warm taco shells just before filling to keep crispness and assemble immediately to avoid sogginess.
