Banana and Cheese Turon
EATS a WRAP!
I was feeling a little worried that I would have to go order myself that wrap in one of the fast food nearby. I was also tempted to buy a shawarma, warm, cheesy and spicy. But wait, these are not Filipino foods so I thought long and hard because I knew I have something in my files and so I have!
Very simple, very Pinoy and very tasty: our home made Saba con cheese turon 😀
How to make these? Simple and here is how:
First of course, get some ripe bananas using the saba variety:
A little overripe is ok. Cut these bananas into four pieces.
Cut the cheese like little cheese sticks, or the size of French fries.
Put the sliced banana and cheese together on a wrap (lumpia wrapper, store bought) and sprinkle with a little sugar. We use muscovado sugar variety at home.
Fry these banana and cheese turon in a hot skillet and you will have:
There, simple but very tasty snacks 🙂
By the way, turon or turron, torro or torrone, you can read how it all started here.
drooling here! lol.
… will try making those one of these days. thanks for the recipe, T. Julie!
Happy Sunday, too!
sarap! will try it with cheese. we do many of these and leave it in the freezer. we cook it throughout the week (sometimes it does not last that long) for dessert or snacks.
Waaaahhhh! I’m drooling miss J! grabe sarap! Hehehehe
yay! i will ask my nanay to make me one like that, i can’t wait.
wow! na-miss ko naman yan. wish I know where to buy saba in this part of the world…
I never thought of using cheese. I will make this one next weekend. Thanks for the recipe.
I’ve never tried turon with cheese, interesting! Yan ang pinakanamimiss ko na wrapped food kasi wala ako mabilhan ng saba…kaya cheesesticks na lan natira hehe. enjoy the week teach!
This is quite new to me, banana w/ cheese but seems yummy. I’ll try pangmerienda. 🙂
Looks absolutely delish! Too bad saba bananas are a rarity here as would’ve loved to try this at home.
i’m not a fan of turon, pero mukhang masarap to ah 🙂
oh no! i forgot about the cheese turon again..i meant [for a long time now] to make some for the kids! enjoy the week ahead TJ!:)
oooh, i never tried this with cheese! looks delish!
i was thinking of doing turon too, but changed my mind.. but yours is special because it has cheese.. never tried it before with cheese.. must be delish!
uy i’ve never had a banana with cheese turon, what an interesting combo! i love turon talaga!
aaaah, turon, one of our pinoy meriendas that i miss. pag nakatiyempo ako ng mala-sabang saging sa grocery, i will give this a try…with and without cheese. 😀
[…] The photo above was a late lunch/early mid-afternoon snacks that the children and I just shared. The ones in the square plate are turon or banana fritters. To prep turon, here is a post I wrote that shows how it can be prepared: Banana and Cheese Turon […]
