Heat 1 tsp. of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the bananas, onions, and garlic; cook for 5 minutes or until the bananas are nicely browned, stirring frequently. Let them cool slightly. Stir in the cheese and half of the cilantro. Add approximately 1/4 cup of the banana mixture in the center of each disc; moisten the edges with water. Fold the discs in half to enclose the filling; press them slightly on top to remove any air pockets. Seal the edges with a fork.
