Strawberry Banana Tacos

My roommate Katharine and I went to Blue Mesa today for Sunday brunch. It is a luxury I am able to afford once a semester, but after having scrambled eggs with potatoes, cheese enchiladas, corn cakes, Spanish rice, beans, agua fresca, rice pudding and flan, the price of the buffet seemed very well worth it.

Keeping with today's Mexican theme, I decided to make fruit tacos! Which is the cheap college version of sweet crepes, the ones you fantasize about having in some cute coffee shop in some cute French village while cramming for your test in the library.

Ingredients
1 cup of Bisquick
1 egg
Milk
Nutella
Bananas
Strawberries
Cool Whip

The reason I didn't write measurements for most ingredients is that I used what was leftover of my roommate's Bisquick, which was less than a cup, and enough milk to make the mix look like pancake batter.

So I mixed the Bisquick, the egg and the milk until I made pancake batter. I poured a spoonful of batter on a small nonstick pan (which I greased) and tilted the pan with a circular motion so the batter would cover the entire surface. I tried to flip the crepe to early though, and that resulted in epic fail, as evidenced by the pancake wreck in the picture.

Katharine came to the rescue and told me to way for bubbles in the batter before flipping the crepe. That actually worked. Make sure you don't pour too much batter on the pan so the crepe is thin and not, well, a pancake.

Because the crepes were small, they wouldn't wrap around their contents, but they make perfect tacos! I spread some Nutella on each and slice some strawberries and bananas to fill the crepes with. Add some Cool Whip if it strikes your fancy.

These are great for breakfast or dinner. Or any time, really. Who needs an excuse to eat this?

This week's groceries

None. I'm broke and relied completely on my roommates' charity.
