Pancake Tacos are a fun and creative twist on breakfast, combining the classic fluffiness of pancakes with the convenience of tacos. These handheld delights can be filled with anything from fresh fruit and whipped cream to scrambled eggs and bacon, making them a versatile choice for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert. The soft pancakes act as the perfect “shell” to hold your favorite toppings, making each bite a delightful mix of sweet or savory flavors. Pancake Tacos are not only delicious but also a great way to elevate a traditional breakfast with a playful presentation.
Ingredients:
For the pancakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter or oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings/Filling Ideas:
- Scrambled eggs and bacon (for savory)
- Fresh berries and whipped cream (for sweet)
- Nutella and banana slices
- Greek yogurt and honey
- Maple syrup and sausage links
Instructions:
- Make the pancake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined (a few lumps are okay).
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading it out slightly to make it round. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Assemble the tacos: Once the pancakes are cooked, fold them gently to form a taco shape. Fill them with your choice of toppings—whether it’s scrambled eggs and bacon for a savory option or fresh fruit and whipped cream for a sweet treat.
- Serve: Enjoy your Pancake Tacos warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar, depending on the filling.
These pancake tacos are perfect for a fun breakfast or brunch that will delight both kids and adults alike!
