To make Cinnamon-Chocolate Sauce: Whisk together sugar, cocoa, butter, cinnamon and 1/4 cup water in saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
To make Banana Splits: Preheat oven to 400F. Coat 8 muffin cups with cooking spray. Combine sugar and cinnamon in bowl. Brush tortillas with butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Flip; butter opposite sides, and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Press tortillas into muffin tins to make cups. Bake 5 to 7 minutes, or until brown and crispy. Cool in pans.
