Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (like cilantro, parsley, or green onion), finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus more for cooking)
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving
• Salsa or pico de gallo, for serving
• Avocado slices, for garnish (optional)

How to Make Layered Mexican Crepes

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, mixing until combined.
2. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Stir in the chopped fresh herbs and vegetable oil. Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, swirling it to evenly coat the bottom.
4. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then gently flip the crepe and cook for an additional minute. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.
5. To assemble, take one crepe and spread a thin layer of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top. Add another crepe on top and repeat the process, layering them with the spread in between until all crepes are stacked.
6. Serve the layered crepes warm, garnished with avocado slices if desired, along with salsa or pico de gallo on the side for dipping.

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the batter to rest; this helps create a tender texture in the crepes.
• Keep your skillet at a consistent medium heat to avoid burning the crepes.
• If the crepes stick, add a little more oil to the pan.
• You can make the crepes ahead of time; just keep them stacked and covered to prevent drying out.

Easy Variations

• For a cheesy twist, add shredded cheese between the layers of crepes.
• Incorporate cooked vegetables like spinach or mushrooms in the layers.
• Swap out the herbs for spices such as cumin or chili powder for a different flavor profile.
• Use different sauces for dipping, such as guacamole or a spicy chipotle sauce.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh green salad with lime vinaigrette.
• Refried beans or black beans for added protein.
• A fruit platter for a refreshing balance to the savory dish.
• Additional salsa options for variety in flavor.
