Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup whole milk
2 egg
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
as needed cooking spray (for waffle iron)
1/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
1 cup strawberries, sliced
2 banana, sliced
1/4 cup pistachios, chopped

Instructions

1

In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt.
2

In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup whole milk, 2 egg, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth, then pour into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
3

Preheat a waffle iron and coat it with cooking spray (for waffle iron). Pour in enough batter to cover the plates and cook until deep golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.
4

While the waffle is still warm and pliable, fold it in half like a taco shell and let it sit for a minute so it holds its shape.
5

Spread the inside of each waffle taco with 1/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread, then tuck in the 1 cup sliced strawberries and 2 sliced banana.
6

Sprinkle the 1/4 cup chopped pistachios over the filling and serve right away while the waffle is still warm and crisp.

Questions

Can I make Waffle Tacos dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1 cup whole milk, 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted. Swap the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk; the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Waffle Tacos gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Waffle Tacos keep?

Keep it covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days.

Can I halve or double Waffle Tacos?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
