Quick Tortilla Dessert Banana and Nuts
This delicious tortilla dessert combines bananas, honey, nuts, cinnamon and more for a really flavorful dessert, which appeals to kids and adults. The flour tortillas are filled with the sticky banana mixture, and then the dessert is garnished with whipped cream and fresh berries. This is a great dessert if you want to serve something nutritious because the bananas, peanut butter and fruit are healthy.
This dessert does not require any baking or cooking so you can make it in about fifteen minutes. Feel free to alter the ingredients as much as you like, substituting vanilla ice cream for the whipped cream, canned mandarin segments for the fresh berries or sliced peach or papaya for the banana. Tortillas are really versatile and you can use them for savory Mexican recipes like burritos and fajitas or sweet ones like dessert tortilla recipes.
In this tortilla dessert banana provides the strongest flavor and the cinnamon, honey and nuts really complement the taste of the banana. This dessert goes nicely after any entree although it might be best not to serve this one after an entree like fajitas, which also uses flour tortillas. If you wanted to serve it after that however, you could use crepes instead of tortillas for this dessert but that would make it less Mexican, so it is your choice.
