Now don’t get all disappointed cause I said Banana Ketchup MEAT(LESS) Tacos. You can use any lean ground meat. Duh! Make sure you drain the fatty oils when you heat the meat. But if you would like, keep the oil and boost up your cholesterol levels. You all are grown folks to make the best decisions for your own health.
Why did I use Banana Ketchup?
Because I didn’t have tomato sauce in my pantry. Plus, every Filipino household has a bottle of Banana Ketchup to use as their condiment. Besides, I thought it would compliment the meatless meat and add the reddish color too. A few taco meat filling recipes calls for adding brown sugar but with Banana Ketchup, it’s already sweetened because of its bananas in the ingredients.
I did experiment on my first trial and the results were good! You get a little bit of sweetness and a tad bit of the tangy taste. The meatless meat that I chose does include sodium so I did not add salt. I try to avoid the use of salt due to my prehypertension (or high blood pressure) health issues. To get that tangy kick taste, I added a few capfuls of apple cider vinegar.
Behind these Banana Ketchup Meatless Tacos
These past couple of weeks have been a little tough and stressful for myself as my aunt was hospitalized with a minor stroke 2 weeks ago. My son, my mother, my cousin with her family, and my aunt’s besties have been going to the hospital to visit her almost everyday. “Our PRESENCE has been greater than one’s excuse for not seeing her.” That straight up came from my mouth! There are no excuses to not see her and shouldn’t be an inconvenience with certain individuals schedules. Lately, I’ve been making quick meals like these to feed my family cause we have been always on the go! I come home to feed my pup Daja too, then go back to the hospital because I know my aunt needs us there.
So with that said, this would be a great addition to your recipes for your Meatless Mondays, Taco Tuesdays or any weekday dinner. It is quick and easy to make right after work or with your busy lifestyle.

I’ve never heard of banana ketchup before. Bananas go so well with many other foods, this sounds like a great addition to the condiment shelf in the frig. Thank you for sharing!
Theres alot of people who have never heard of this condiment. You’ll see banana ketchup used by Filipinos as their condiment same way as people use tomato ketchup for their fries, burgers, etc. Try it out sometime and let me know what you think😊
This looks delicious! lovely post!

Thank you!💟
I have never heard of banana ketchup. Is this something I can find at “any” grocery store, or soulful I just waste my time looking at my local international stores? I would love to try this recipe.
Hi Mimi! You can find it in all Asian stores or at regular grocery stores located in the International isles. I’ve seen a few at Walmart. Look for the Jufran or UFC brand. Hope this helps!
Thanks! I had no idea where to look. Then again I have never heard of it either. I am curious to try it to see how it taste. I’ll look around and hopefully I’ll have great luck in finding it. Thanks! This definitely helps!
So interesting to learn about foods that I’ve never heard of…thanks for opening my eyes.
Thanks Debra! Hope the recipe opened your eyes to try banana ketchup with your meals.
