Dessert tacos
Dessert tacos reinterpret the taco shape with sweet fillings such as fruit, ice cream and chocolate. They are a contemporary dessert format rather than a single traditional regional taco.
A sweet finish
A dessert taco can use a crisp sweet shell or a tortilla prepared for dessert. Fruit, chocolate, cream and ice cream offer different textures. Small portions make them an option after a savory taco meal.
Recipes from the original publishers
Old El Paso publishes banana-split dessert tacos using fried tortilla bowls and ice cream, along with tropical cream mini taco bowls. Its Australian site also offers an ice-cream taco recipe. Follow the source recipes for their quantities and preparation instructions.
Serving suggestions
For menu planning, pair a rich chocolate or ice-cream filling with fresh fruit. Assemble crisp shells near serving time so wet fillings do not soften them. These are WikiTacos editorial suggestions.
