Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchini, grated

1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or substitute with nutritional yeast for a vegan-friendly option)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying the pancakes)

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional for added creaminess)

Fresh cilantro or parsley leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Start by grating the zucchini using a box grater. Once grated, transfer the zucchini into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and wring out the liquid to remove excess moisture. This is an essential step to avoid soggy pancakes.

    Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained grated zucchini with all-purpose flour, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly blended. The resulting batter should be thick yet pourable.

      Cook the Pancakes: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, using a measuring cup, scoop about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter into the skillet, gently spreading it into a round shape. Allow the pancake to cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until it is cooked through and golden. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.

        Assemble the Tacos: Take two pancakes and place them back-to-back to form a taco shell. Start layering by adding a generous amount of diced tomatoes and slices of avocado. Drizzle with sour cream or Greek yogurt if you desire a creamy texture.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh cilantro or parsley over the top for added freshness and vibrancy. Serve your Zucchini Pancake Tacos immediately while they are warm for the best taste and texture!
