Caramel Banana Nuts Tacos

so picture this: crispy, cinnamon-sugar tortilla shells shaped like tacos, filled with warm caramelized bananas, crunchy toasted nuts, a drizzle of rich caramel sauce, and maybe a scoop of ice cream if you’re feeling extra (and you should be). These Caramel Banana Nut Tacos are basically what happens when dessert decides to get fun and creative instead of taking itself too seriously. They’re sweet, crunchy, gooey, and have this perfect combo of textures that’ll make you wonder why dessert tacos aren’t already a thing everywhere. It’s the kind of treat that makes kids go wild and adults feel like kids again. Plus, they look absolutely stunning on a plate, so you’ll feel like a fancy restaurant chef even though they’re ridiculously easy to make.
