How to make

Step 1. Make the Green Banana Flour Tortillas

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Banana Island green banana flour, vitamin powder, and salt. Add water and mix well. Lastly, add the eggs and mix until smooth.

2. Heat a frying pan with a light coating of olive oil. Wipe excess with a paper towel.

3. Pour 50ml of batter into the center of the pan to make a 12cm tortilla.

4. When bubbles form on top (like a pancake), wait 1 more minute, then flip.
Cook for 2 more minutes.

5. Remove and cool on a plate. Repeat until all batter is used.

Step 2. Prep the Taco Filling

1. Peel and dice potatoes into 1cm cubes. In a bowl, toss with olive oil and all listed spices.

2. Rinse water parsley, trim tough stems, and cut into 2cm pieces.

3. Clean the melon by scrubbing the skin with coarse salt. Cut off the ends, halve it, remove the seeds, and dice into 1cm cubes.

4. Cook seasoned potatoes in a frying pan with 1 tbsp olive oil for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Oven option: Bake at 180°C for 8 minutes, stir, and bake another 4 minutes. Adjust time depending on your oven.

Step 3. Assemble the Tacos

  1. Take one tortilla. Add:
    • 30g roasted potato
    • 7g water parsley
    • 10g melon cubes
    • 7g chipotle or chili mayo
  2. Drizzle a squeeze of lemon over the top.
  3. Repeat and arrange beautifully on a serving plate.
