- Garnish: 1/4 cup whipped cream; 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
Instructions
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced bananas and brown sugar, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the bananas are caramelized and golden brown.
- While the bananas are cooking, heat another skillet over medium-high heat and lightly toast the corn tortillas for about 1-2 minutes on each side until crispy.
- Remove the tortillas and let them cool slightly before filling.
- Once the bananas are ready, fill each taco shell with a generous spoonful of caramelized bananas.

Notes
- Make-ahead: You can prepare the caramelized bananas a few hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Reheat before serving.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Substitutions: Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free option or substitute bananas with other fruits like peaches or apples.
