Learn how to make delicious Banana Split Dessert Nachos. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup vanilla ice cream (or your favorite flavor)
  • 1/2 cup sliced strawberries (optional, for extra fruitiness)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
  • Caramel sauce, for drizzling
  • Maraschino cherries, for garnish

Substitution suggestions: Feel free to swap flour tortillas for whole wheat or gluten-free if needed. Instead of vanilla ice cream, try banana, chocolate, or strawberry to mix things up. If nuts aren’t your thing, crushed graham crackers or toasted coconut flakes make great alternatives.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Cut each flour tortilla into 8 triangle-shaped chips. I like to think of this as the first fun step, much like when Mama Lou would let me help with rolling dough—simple but satisfying.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Brush both sides of the tortilla triangles lightly with the cinnamon butter mixture. This step is key for that perfect crispy, sweet crunch that makes these chips so addictive.
  5. Arrange the tortilla chips in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn—nothing ruins dessert faster than bitter chips!
  6. Once baked, let the chips cool slightly on the baking sheet. Meanwhile, slice your bananas and strawberries if using.
  7. On a large serving plate, spread a layer of the cinnamon chips. Top with sliced bananas, strawberries, and mini chocolate chips.
  8. Add generous scoops of vanilla ice cream over the chips and fruit. The ice cream adds that creamy, dreamy texture that contrasts beautifully with the crunch.
  9. Drizzle chocolate syrup and caramel sauce over the entire dish. Don’t be shy—this is where the magic happens.
  10. Sprinkle chopped nuts or your preferred crunchy topping on top, then finish with maraschino cherries for that classic banana split look.
  11. Serve immediately and watch everyone dive in. When I serve these, I can almost hear Mama Lou’s voice saying, “Enjoy every bite, my loves. Food is love.”
