Ingredients
  

6 small taco-shaped flour tortillas

2 ripe bananas, sliced

1 cup vanilla pudding (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)

1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafer cookies

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Chocolate sauce, for drizzling (optional)

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tortillas: Lightly toast the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, just until warm and pliable. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Create the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the vanilla pudding with half of the whipped cream. Gently fold until smooth and creamy. This will be your delicious filling.

      Assemble the Tacos: Take a warm tortilla and spread a generous layer of the pudding mixture in the center. Top with a few banana slices. Sprinkle a tablespoon of crushed vanilla wafers over the bananas for added crunch.

        Add More Cream: Add another dollop of the whipped cream on top of the bananas and wafers, and then sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon for an extra flavor boost.

          Drizzle Chocolate Sauce: If desired, drizzle some chocolate sauce over the assembled tacos for a sweet finish.

            Garnish and Serve: Garnish each taco with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and freshness. Serve the banana pudding tacos immediately for the best texture.
