Ingredients

Scale

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp melted butter or oil
  • Optional: 1 tsp savory herbs (like chives or parsley)

For the Fillings (Choose Your Favorites):

  • 1 cup scrambled eggs
  • 1 cup cooked bacon or sausage (crumbled)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or feta)
  • ½ cup sautéed vegetables (onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms)
  • 1 avocado (sliced or mashed)
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Salsa, pico de gallo, or hot sauce for topping

Instructions

  1. Make the Pancakes: Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and savory herbs (if using). Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Combine and Mix: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. A few lumps are okay; avoid overmixing. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake to create small, taco-sized pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  2. Prepare the Fillings: Cook the Proteins: Scramble the eggs, cook the bacon or sausage, and keep warm. Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, sauté onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms with a bit of oil until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Assemble the Pancake Tacos: Lay Out the Pancakes: Place the cooked pancakes on a flat surface. Add the Fillings: Layer scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, cheese, and sautéed vegetables on one half of each pancake. Top It Off: Add avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa or hot sauce. Fold and Serve: Fold the pancakes gently to form a taco shape and serve immediately.
