Ingredients:

1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
14 oz ground beef (80/20%)
400g
2 tbsp spice mix
30g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 cup milk (1% fat)
240g
1 egg
50g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1 avocado
200g
1 tomato
130g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g
1/3 cup sour cream
72g

Instructions:

4. Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add a small amount of butter (you may need to add more as you cook all your pancakes).
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Repeat until all the batter is used up, placing cooked pancakes on a plate and keeping them warm.
7. Serve:
- Serve the Mexican pancakes immediately, lending them to be enjoyed while the pancakes are still warm and the filling is flavorful.

Tips:

- Make sure the ground beef is cooked thoroughly and well-seasoned for the best flavor.

- If you prefer a spicier dish, add some chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture.

- Let the pancake batter rest for about 10 minutes before cooking. This will help the pancakes become fluffier.

- Use a non-stick skillet for cooking the pancakes to ensure they don’t stick and cook evenly.

- For a healthier twist, you can use whole wheat flour instead of self-raising flour.

Enjoy your Mexican pancakes topped with creamy avocado, fresh tomato, and a dollop of sour cream. This hearty dish is sure to impress your family and friends with its bold flavors and comforting textures. Buen provecho!
