Dessert Nachos

For the chips ~

4 6" flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the bananas ~

1-1/2 tablespoons butter
1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 bananas, sliced
1 tablespoon rum

Toppings ~

Chocolate sauce
Vanilla ice cream

Preparation ~

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges. Arrange the chips in a single layer on the baking sheet and brush each side with the melted butter.

Combine the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over both sides of the chips. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

In the meantime, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon and add the sliced bananas. Coat the bananas in the brown sugar mixture and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rum and cook 1 minute longer. Remove from heat.

On a fresh sheet of parchment, arrange your chips as you would regular nachos. Top with the bananas and drizzle with your favorite fudge or chocolate sauce.

Return to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Slide the nachos off the parchment onto a serving platter and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serve warm.
