How to Make Bananas Foster Chimichangas
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 3 ripe bananas, sliced, and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the bananas soften slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of dark rum (optional, can substitute with banana extract) and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to burn off slightly (be cautious when working with alcohol near heat).
- Place 4 large flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon 1/4 of the banana mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll each tortilla into a burrito shape, tucking in the ends to secure.
- Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the chimichangas seam-down in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Remove the chimichangas from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve immediately warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
