Ingredients You'll Need

Here's everything you'll need you make these breakfast pancake tacos...

For the Pancakes:

• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tablespoon granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 small egg, slightly beaten
• ½ tablespoon neutral oil
• ⅓ cup buttermilk

For the Taco Filling:

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 large eggs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 breakfast sausages
• Maple syrup, to serve

How To Make Pancake Tacos

As I mentioned, just 5 simple steps are all you have to make these pancake tacos!

Step 1: Make the Pancake Batter

In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate small bowl, combine beaten egg, neutral oil, and buttermilk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, gently mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your pancakes fluffy.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

Heat a nonstick pan or skillet over medium heat and melt ½ tablespoon butter. Pour pancake batter into the skillet, forming two pancakes. Cook until bubbly on top, then flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until golden. Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm.

Step 3: Prepare the Scrambled Eggs

Wipe the pan clean, melt remaining butter, then beat eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper to taste. Pour beaten eggs into the pan and scramble to your desired consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4: Cook the Breakfast Sausages

In the same pan, cook sausages for 3-5 minutes, turning frequently until fully cooked and nicely browned. Remove sausages from the pan and set aside.

Step 5: Assemble Your Pancake Tacos

Place half of the scrambled eggs onto each pancake. Top with one sausage per pancake, drizzle generously with maple syrup, fold gently, and enjoy immediately.

Expert Tips for Perfect Pancake Breakfast Tacos

• Keep Pancakes Warm: To ensure everything stays hot, keep pancakes in a warm oven (around 200°F) until ready to assemble.
• Customize Fillings: Get creative by adding crispy bacon, shredded cheese, avocado slices, or even fresh berries.
• Make Ahead: Pancakes can be prepared in advance and reheated quickly in the toaster for busy mornings.
• Use Quality Maple Syrup: Pure maple syrup enhances flavor better than imitation syrup.
• Fluffy Pancake Trick: For extra-fluffy pancakes, don't overmix the batter. A few lumps are okay!

FAQ's About This Pancake Tacos Recipe

Can I prepare pancake tacos in advance?

Absolutely! Prepare pancakes and fillings separately, store in airtight containers in the refrigerator, then reheat and assemble just before serving. Pancakes can also be frozen in batches and reheated quickly in the toaster or microwave.

What other fillings can I use in breakfast pancake tacos?

Feel free to experiment! Bacon, cheese, sautéed veggies, avocado, salsa, or even sweet fillings like Nutella and bananas all work wonderfully in pancake tacos.

How do I store leftover pancake tacos?

Store leftover components separately (pancakes, eggs, and sausages) in airtight containers in the fridge. Pancakes keep for up to 3 days, and eggs and sausages for 2-3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Can I make this pancake taco recipe gluten-free?

Yes! Substitute the all-purpose flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend, making sure it includes a binding ingredient like xanthan gum for best texture.

What's the best syrup for pancake tacos?

Pure maple syrup is ideal for its superior flavor, but you could also try flavored syrups, honey, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for a spicy-sweet twist.
