Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Filling

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed to form the pancake batter.
  2. Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat to make about 8 pancakes.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a separate pan, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper, pour into the pan with vegetables, and scramble until cooked through. Remove from heat and stir in chopped tomatoes and half the cheese to melt slightly.
  4. Assemble Tacos: Place a warm pancake on a plate, spoon the scrambled egg and vegetable mixture onto the center, and sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top. Fold the pancake gently to resemble a taco and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use buttermilk in the batter for a tangy flavor and fluffy texture.
  • Customize the filling by adding cooked bacon, sausage, or avocado slices.
  • Serve with salsa or hot sauce for an extra kick.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking mix.
