Pancake Tacos for Breakfast or Dinner

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

No matter when you make them, for breakfast or dinner, these pancake tacos hold up for the job of being stuffed with your favorite ingredients!

Unlike other pancake recipes, the one you’ll find in this post is extra fluffy, so the pancakes can be turned into a hand-held meal: a taco!

Taco Pancakes for Breakfast

Fluffy pancakes are a classic breakfast staple that pair great with eggs, bacon, or sausage. And you know what makes that trio more fun to eat? Skipping the fork and turning it into a taco!

While pancakes are a classic weekend breakfast or brunch, they’re also a terrific meal idea for a breakfast-for-dinner option since the pancake batter comes together fast, and you can have an entire meal ready to eat in about 15 minutes.

This is just one of the many breakfast taco recipes on my website and inside my cookbook, The Taco Tuesday Cookbook.

Ingredients

The list below includes all the ingredients you’ll need to make the pancakes AND tacos: 

  • All-purpose flour: I prefer to use regular flour.
  • Baking powder: a leavening agent that creates fluffy pancakes. 
  • Salt: enhances the other ingredient flavors. 
  • Sugar: makes them a little sweet. 
  • Milk: regular milk or your favorite non-dairy alternative. 
  • Eggs: for the pancakes AND taco filling. 
  • Butter: makes everything taste better. 
  • Breakfast sausage: any of your favorite breakfast sausage options or bacon. 
  • Maple syrup: adds delicious sweet flavor with all the savory breakfast ingredients. 

As always, you’ll find the ingredient amounts and detailed cooking instructions in the printable recipe card at the end of this post. 

How to Make Pancake Tacos

Gather those ingredients, and in just 15 minutes, you can make a breakfast or taco night to remember!  

  1. Prepare the pancakes
    Use this recipe to make a batch. Set aside and keep the pancakes warm. 
  2. Scramble some eggs
    In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat. Pour off excess grease and add the eggs. Scramble until fluffy. 
  3. Assemble
    Place a scoop of the sausage and egg mixture into each pancake. Drizzle with some maple syrup, and you’re ready to eat!
