Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 40 to 50 mins.

Add the potatoes and continue to cook until the potatoes are done, about 30 minutes.

Add the bananas *before* the potatoes are done but the bananas need about 10 mins at most.

Make a well and tilt the pan so that the liquids pool.

Pour the sauce ingredients gently combine; simmer until heated through, taking care that the andquot;creamandquot; does not boil.

Serve immediately with warmed tortillas and mixed salad greens, undressed or a little lemon-lime juice.
