We always like to have fun foods when camping. It is a tradition in our house. A little bit of indulgence while we are on vacation and making memories at meal time.
These pancake tacos are a fun way to enjoy breakfast. Using pancakes as the base, you can customize the toppings with a taco bar stocked with morning breakfast ingredients, such as fruits, yogurt, eggs, and breakfast meats.
Pancake Breakfast Tacos
In order to have delicious breakfast tacos, you will need pancakes as the base. There are several ways to have enough pancakes for this breakfast, depending on how much time you want to spend preparing the meal:
- Use pre-made pancakes from the frozen foods section, heated
- Make a large batch of pancakes before leaving, refrigerate them and then reheat
- Cook pancakes on the griddle at your campsite
While traditional pancakes are perfect to have with this fun breakfast, you can use special flavored pancakes, too, such as:
- Chocolate Chip Pancakes
- Blueberry Pancakes
- Banana Pancakes

Taco Holders
If you want to set up a table for the entire family to assemble tacos, then you might want to use taco holders.
These are great if you have kids making breakfast tacos.
They are also perfect if you have so many toppings to choose from that it is hard to hold a pancake or plate in one hand while trying to scoop out ingredients with the other.
We used stainless steel taco stands, but you can find colorful plastic taco stands, too.
