Directions
-
Step 1
Drain the banana blossom and pull apart with your fingers until it’s all shredded.
-
Step 2
Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and add the shredded banana blossom, mixing well. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours.*
-
Step 3
While you’re waiting for the banana blossom, prepare all of your taco toppings and place in the fridge in separate bowls.
-
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 220℃. Once the banana blossom has marinated, spoon out the mixture evenly on a lined baking tray. Bake for 40 minutes. (Give it a mix with tongs halfway through. Once the mixture is cooked it should be a nice deep golden brown colour.)
-
Step 5
To assemble the tacos, fry your tortillas for 30 seconds on each side in a frying pan.
-
Step 6
Add the filling and all your fresh toppings. Enjoy!
