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

What should Waffle Tacos look like when it is ready?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 3: cook until deep golden and crisp.

Why does Waffle Tacos say not to overmix?

Stirring develops gluten, and gluten makes quick batters tough and tunneled. Stop at step 2 while a few streaks of flour remain; they hydrate on their own.

Can I make Waffle Tacos dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Waffle Tacos 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.

Is Waffle Tacos vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 1 cup whole milk, 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and 2 egg. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan dessert collection.

Does Waffle Tacos contain tree nuts?

Yes: 1/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread and 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten, dairy, eggs and tree nuts. Where the nuts are a garnish or a texture, toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds stand in. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

How many calories are in Waffle Tacos?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 520 calories, with 8 g protein, 52 g carbohydrate and 18 g fat, plus 2 g fiber and 320 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

How long does Waffle Tacos keep?

Keep Waffle Tacos covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days. Chilled and set desserts lose their texture in the freezer.
