Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe saba bananas (or plantains)
- 1 cup canned jackfruit, drained
- 8 pieces lumpia (spring roll) wrappers
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 as needed cooking spray
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the saba bananas and cut them in half lengthwise to create 8 pieces in total.
Step 2
Spread the brown sugar on a plate. Roll each banana piece in the brown sugar, ensuring it's fully coated.
Step 3
Place a piece of sugared banana on a lumpia wrapper, add a piece of jackfruit beside it, and fold the wrapper over the banana and jackfruit, tucking in the sides and rolling it tightly to enclose the filling. Use water to seal the wrapper.
Step 4
Repeat the process for the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 5
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Step 6
Place the turon in the skillet seam side down and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy, rotating as needed. Use a spatula or tongs to turn the turon.
Step 7
Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the healthier alternative with a sweet and crunchy texture.
