What you will need
This recipe uses 9 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1.5 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 4 whole eggs
- 0.5 cup fresh pico de gallo
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Savory Batter
Combine flour, a pinch of salt, garlic powder, and baking powder in a bowl. Whisk eggs and milk in another bowl then combine with dry ingredients. Fold in the fresh chives. Let the batter rest for five minutes before cooking.
Step 2: Cook the Pancake Shells
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Pour 4 inch rounds and cook until bubbles form and edges look dry. Flip and cook for another sixty seconds. Keep warm wrapped in a towel.
Step 3: Mash the Avocado
Halve and pit the avocados and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lime juice and a pinch of salt and mash to a chunky consistency. Do not over mash as the texture adds to the taco experience.
Step 4: Cook the Eggs
Cook the filling eggs to your preferred style. Soft scrambled or fried sunny side up both work well in these tacos. Season with salt and pepper and cook in a lightly greased pan over medium low heat.
Step 5: Assemble and Serve
Fold warm pancakes into taco shapes and hold them with your hand or prop in a taco stand. Spread a layer of mashed avocado on the inside, add the egg, and top with fresh pico de gallo. Serve immediately.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- pico de gallo → store bought mild salsa for convenience
- fresh chives → dried dill or parsley
- whole milk → unsweetened almond milk
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Making pancakes too thick which prevents them from folding without cracking
- Preparing avocado too far in advance causing it to brown before serving
- Cooking eggs on high heat which makes them rubbery and dry
