Pancake Tacos

I’ve included some videos below for those who prefer to watch rather than read.

Pancake tacos are a fun twist on breakfast that combines two favorite foods. You can make them by folding fluffy pancakes into a taco shape and filling them with sweet or savory ingredients. Pancake tacos are easy to customize with fruits, eggs, bacon, or anything you like.

This creative meal works great for breakfast or dinner. You can use regular pancake batter or try healthier options with oatmeal or banana. The folded pancakes get crispy on the outside while staying soft inside. Kids and adults both love building their own pancake tacos with different toppings.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Making pancake tacos is easy and fun! Here are some handy tips to make your breakfast even better.

Thin the batter with a little water if it’s too thick. This helps create thinner pancakes that fold easily.

Use a 1/4 cup measure to pour batter onto the skillet. This makes pancakes the perfect size for tacos.

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This gives you fluffier pancakes.

Cook pancakes on medium-high heat. Flip when you see bubbles forming on the edges.

Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 300°F oven while you finish the batch.

Prep your fillings before you start cooking the pancakes. This way everything is ready to go.

Try different pancake flavors like chocolate chip or blueberry for variety.

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or toaster.

Freeze extra pancakes between sheets of wax paper in a freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 2 months.

Get creative with your fillings! Mix sweet and savory options for a tasty surprise.
