- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Assemble: Place savory pancakes on a plate, add taco meat, and top with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and avocado.
- Fold into tacos and serve warm.
Notes
