Savoury pancakes filled with Mexican-spiced chicken, fresh vegetables, salsa and crème fraîche.
Savoury pancakes are a huge hit for dinner in our house, – you can fill them with exactly what the family likes, and it is well worth making a big batch and putting some in the freezer.
These are filled with strips of Mexican-spiced chicken, mixed crisp vegetables, homemade salsa and ice-cold crème fraîche.
You can also add a few crunchy tortilla chips, cheddar, jalapeños or the like.
Filled savoury pancakes are also brilliant for packed lunches, – my girls are particularly keen on them filled with Mexican-spiced beef and sweetcorn.

Har du et godt forslag til at gøre pandekagerne sundere? Overvejer at udskifte 100 g af hvedemelet med F.eks. fuldkornsmajsmel eller fuldkornshvedemel…..
Hej Pia
Har desværre ikke prøvet, men det tænker jeg nu godt du kan:) Nogle gange har de grovere meltyper behov for en smule mere væske:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
