Brown Sugar Syrup
4 medium ripe but firm bananas
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (Mexican canela or Ceylon variety preferred)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (plus more, if needed)
4 (8- to 9-inch) flour tortillas
oil for frying

1. Prepare the sugar syrup and reserve in the pan off heat. In a small bowl mix the sugar and cinnamon. Peel the bananas and cut in half lengthwise.

2. In a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet melt the butter and cook the bananas, in batches, turning once, until light brown on both sides. Remove the bananas to a plate. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Reserve on the plate.

3. In a clean, dry large nonstick skillet, warm the tortillas, 1 at a time, turning, until soft and pliable. Stack and cover to keep warm.

4. To assemble, put 2 banana halves on half of each tortilla and fold into half-moons.

5. In the same skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Put the folded tortillas in the hot oil, 1 or 2 at a time, and cook until light brown and crisp on both sides, 20 to 30 seconds for each side. Add more oil if needed.

6. Reheat the syrup. Transfer the burritos to serving plates. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the warm syrup over each burrito and serve at once. Pass remaining syrup at the table.
