Banana Split Tacos

This Dessert Taco Recipe Puts an Interesting Spin on a Classic Treat

Peter Jackson shares an interesting recipe of a dessert taco on the Foreign Policy website. Mixing cultural influences, the indulgent treat is definitely one that will capture the attention of sweet-toothed individuals as it puts an interesting spin on a classic American shareable dish — the banana split.

The recipe is actually quite easy and efficient to make. The main ingredients one needs are bananas, vanilla ice cream, and soft taco shells. The bananas are placed in a pan and roasted in a cast-iron or non-stick pan over medium heat for about three minutes per side. The fruit will naturally caramelize due to its sugar content.

The next step in making the dessert tacos is stuffing the soft shell with ice cream and putting the banana in. Afterward, one may finish off with some chocolate spread and sprinkles.
