Description

A creative fusion dish where fluffy savory pancakes become taco shells, filled with seasoned meat, cheese, and fresh toppings for a fun, delicious meal.


Ingredients

  • Savory Pancakes:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or oil
  • Taco Filling:
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup salsa or tomato sauce
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Toppings:
  • Shredded cheese
  • Lettuce
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Sour cream
  • Avocado or guacamole


Instructions

  1. Make the pancakes: Mix flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Pour small rounds of batter to form thin, flexible pancakes. Cook until bubbles form, flip, and cook until golden. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the taco filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until browned. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened. Stir in taco seasoning and salsa, simmering for 3–4 minutes.
  4. Assemble: Place savory pancakes on a plate, add taco meat, and top with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and avocado.
  5. Fold into tacos and serve warm.

Notes

  • Make pancakes thinner for easier folding.
  • Use plant-based meat or beans for a vegetarian version.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Pancakes can be made ahead and reheated briefly in a skillet.
