Loaded Breakfast Pancake Tacos
Our Loaded Pancake Taco is your family’s new favorite taco.
Take your soft taco game to a whole ‘notha level!
These soft tacos start with fluffy golden brown pancakes. Next, we had skillet potatoes and fried or scrambled eggs.
How about some thick-cut bacon or chopped breakfast sausage? Then we add fresh toppings like red onion, cilantro, diced peppers, and cherry tomatoes.
We top our Loaded Pancake with feta cheese crumbles, and it’s a wrap!
Mix up your family’s breakfast routine with our Loaded Pancake Taco featuring Krusteaz Light & Fluffy Buttermilk Complete Pancake Mix.
This was a fun breakfast idea, and our boys ate it up. Like, literally!
But it’s no surprise because many of our favorite breakfast and brunch meals start with Krusteaz’s complete pancake mix.
From pancakes to waffles and even quiche, the possibilities are endless.
We begin this foodie fusion by whipping up our favorite pancakes; then, we make all the toppings, like thick-cut bacon, skillet potatoes, and fried eggs.
Next, we prepped all of the add-ons. We diced the red onions and tri-colored peppers, then cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
We also tossed in some fresh baby spinach, cilantro, and feta cheese.
What You Will Need:
Pancakes. Grab your Krusteaz Buttermilk pancake mix and make several pancakes. You can also make the pancakes ahead, place them in a zip-lock, and refrigerate them a day or two earlier.
Potatoes & Onions. Add a bit of EVOO to a skillet over med-high heat and saute a large yellow onion sliced thin; when the onions begin to brown.
Next, add more oil, then Russet or Yukon gold potatoes that have been scrubbed, peeled, and diced. Sprinkle with a generous amount of sea of kosher salt and freshly cracked black peppercorns. When the potatoes begin to brown, place the skillet in a preheated 350-degree oven for 15-20 minutes until soft in the center.
Thick-Cut Bacon. Prepare the thick-cut bacon, and once the bacon is done, place the bacon on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any residue grease.
Eggs. Whisk three to four (3-4) eggs into a bowl, adding a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black peppercorns. Into a skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil; when the oil is hot, stir in the eggs and continue to stir until the eggs are thoroughly set and scrambled; you can also add a 1/4 cup of shredded mild or sharp cheddar cheese to take the eggs up a notch or two. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a warm bowl and set aside.
Tri-Colored Peppers & Cherry Tomatoes. I used several tri-colored peppers but feel free to use any combination of green, yellow, orange, or sweet red bell peppers. The peppers do not require any cooking; dice and use them raw. For the cherry tomatoes, cut them in half, and you are good to go! Psst, you can also use any variety of ripe grape tomatoes.
Feta Cheese. I used Feta cheese crumbles, but use whatever cheese you like. Shredded mild or sharp cheddar works well; I also love a good pepper jack cheese; you can also use a Mexican-style cheese like:
- queso fresco
- queso asadero
- Cotija
- queso de Oaxaca
- or queso menonita
