Ya’ll, as you will see in the video I have below, Southwest pancakes for dinner or breakfast really are an easy and simple meal. Indeed, you can make it as fast as you can make a pot of spaghetti, and it will be good. While I have a fabulous beef company on the left-hand side of this page. You can find healthier beef in most grocery stores. As well as other products undercooking food and wine, this is not a sales page. So, I will be giving the recipes on this blog and the many ways you can make this meal.
In fact, you do not have to be a chef to make this meal. Besides reading about the fact that I did not measure this recipe. You will also see that there are many ways you can make it. I made this meal as a fluke one day. I did not have any tortilla chips or tortillas, so I put my imagination together and created this meal. While I have not seen anybody make pancakes this way before. I kind of got the idea from New Mexico enchiladas that place a fried egg on their enchiladas. The idea stemming from Mexican cornbread, where you add whatever you want to your cornbread to jazz up the taste. So, let’s get jiggy with the recipes.
Your Beans
While I cooked a pot of beans. Indeed, cooking a pot of beans is done in so many different ways. As well, you can make them to your taste. The most important part of cooking a pot of beans, if you choose to do so. In fact, let your beans soak overnight to allow them to soften. Besides making sure you have plenty of water in them and checking the water level often. You will also want to cook them slowly over medium to low heat for about four hours.
Besides, everyone’s taste is different, so you can add pretty much anything to your beans for flavor. Most people will just add salt; others will put salt in meat, like bacon and other meats and vegetables. Indeed, you do not have to cook beans for this meal. But if you do, you will want to get your pot of beans going on the stove first. However, you could just pick up a can of beans and season them to cut down on time. Or I think a can of refried beans will go great with the meal.
Southwest Pancakes for Dinner or Breakfast Instructions
Really, guys, I will not be going into great detail on this part because this is not a picky meal. Indeed, you can make this however you want and to your taste. Indeed, you can make your pancakes from scratch. Or you can just use a box of complete pancake mixes. And add water, as you see in the video below. From there, the ingredients are available to your taste.
- Pancake Batter: Again, you can make it from scratch or follow the recipe on the back of the box
- Cilantro: Also optional My mom, who raised me, did not like cilantro. But I love it and think it should be on everything
- Onion: This too is optional and you can use your favorite onion
- Garlic: Also optional. But I use fresh garlic in most of my cooking because it has many health benefits.
- Peppers: Jalapeno peppers are used in most southwest foods. Indeed, you can use bell peppers or Anaheim chilies.
- Salt. Pepper. And Fajita Seasoning: Again, the seasoning is optional. And to taste to season your pancake for a southwest flavor.
- Tomatoes. And Corn: These are some of the other ingredients I have added to this batter. Indeed, they go well for a southwest pancake meal. But they are also optional.
Side Notes
After you have made your pancake batter and added all of your ingredients. Make sure to stir well, then cook just like a pancake. Make sure to not walk away, get busy, forget about them, and burn them. But other than that, you can mess this up. When your pancake is done, you will want to use a small bowl. Or cup and cut out a whole in the middle. Much like you do when you make a toe and the whole. Then fry your egg in the center of the pancake. Indeed, fry your egg and season it the way you prefer your eggs. When it is complete, set them to the side and make your hamburger meat.
We’ve Got Beef
Again, we have some beef that you can get shipped to your house. While you can find out how to order this beef. Also on this blog read that comes from ranchers who raise cattle. Indeed, if you are making this meal for dinner. I would suggest using hamburger meat like you do a flat enchilada. But you could substitute this for chicken if you would like. Then cook it just like you do taco meat.
However, if you are making this meal for brunch. Or breakfast, you can. Indeed use sausage and flavor it like taco meat. I just used some garlic salt, chili powder, and fajita seasoning. In fact, you could just use pre-packaged taco seasoning from the grocery store. As you will hear me say many times, this is to taste. There is not a certain way you have to make this delicious meal.
