How to Make Banana Filled Chocolate Enchiladas
- **Make the Crepes:**
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat a lightly oiled 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet, tilting to spread evenly.
- Cook for 45-60 seconds per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when the edges start to set and the top looks dry.
- Stack the cooked crepes on a plate and cover with plastic wrap to keep them moist.
- **Make the Banana Rum Filling:**
- In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Stir in 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until melted and combined.
- Add 1/4 cup dark rum (optional, can substitute with vanilla extract) and 2 ripe bananas, sliced. Cook, stirring gently, until the bananas are softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- **Assemble the Crepes:**
- Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the banana rum filling onto the center of each crepe.
- Roll each crepe tightly and place seam-down on a serving plate.
- Drizzle with your favorite chocolate sauce (store-bought or homemade).
- Garnish with white chocolate shavings and fresh strawberries.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
