Ingredients
Scale
Pancakes
- 2 pancakes (store-bought or homemade)
Fillings
- 1/2 cup fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, bananas)
- 1/4 cup whipped cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)
Topping
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Warm the Pancakes: Heat the pancakes in a skillet over medium heat or microwave until they are warm and pliable, making them easier to fold without cracking.
- Form the Taco Shells: Carefully fold each warm pancake in half to create a taco shell shape, ensuring it holds the fillings without breaking.
- Fill with Toppings: Spoon the fresh fruit into each folded pancake shell, then add a generous dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt. Sprinkle with chocolate chips if desired for extra sweetness and texture.
- Drizzle with Syrup: Finish off by drizzling maple syrup over the filled pancake tacos, then serve immediately to enjoy the perfect combination of warm pancakes and fresh, sweet toppings.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor and texture contrast.
- Greek yogurt can be substituted with whipped cream or a dairy-free alternative for a lighter or vegan option.
- If using homemade pancakes, slightly thinner pancakes work best for easy folding.
- Optional chocolate chips add a delightful burst of sweetness and can be omitted for a healthier option.
- Serve immediately as the pancakes may become soggy if left to sit with the fillings.
