Taco Topped Cornmeal Pancakes Recipes

CORNMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla in a medium bowl. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined to make a thick batter.
• In another bowl, whip the egg whites until they hold soft peaks. Use a rubber spatula to fold the whites into the batter just until no white streaks remain.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with butter. Working in batches, drop about 1/4 cup batter per pancake into the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the tops of the pancakes and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until the pancakes are cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer the cooked pancakes to the oven to keep warm and continue to make more pancakes, brushing the skillet with butter as needed, until all the batter has been used. Serve the pancakes with blackberries and maple syrup.

CORNMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine the first five ingredients. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle. Turn when bubbles on top begin to pop; cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with syrup.

TACO CORNBREAD CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles, 8-10 minutes; drain. Stir in taco seasoning. Add tomatoes, water, rice and green chiles; heat through, stirring occasionally., Meanwhile, prepare cornbread mix according to package directions; stir in corn. Pour half of the batter into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer with half of the meat mixture, all the sour cream, half of the corn chips and 1 cup cheese. Top with remaining batter, remaining meat mixture, olives and remaining corn chips., Bake, uncovered, until cornbread is cooked through, 55-60 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake until melted, 3-5 minutes longer. If desired, serve with lettuce, tomatoes and red onion.

TACO-TOPPED CORNMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Prepare taco filling: Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add condensed soup, ketchup, soy sauce, seasoned salt, oregano, basil, garlic powder, parsley flakes, and paprika; cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
• While the taco filling is cooking, prepare pancake batter: Pulse cornmeal in the bowl of a food processor until finely ground (like flour). Transfer to a large bowl and mix with milk, flour, melted butter, and salt.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop 1/2 cup batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, about 3 more minutes.
• Top pancakes with warm taco filling, lettuce, Mexican cheese, and taco sauce.

SOFT CORN TORTILLA PANCAKES
