Breakfast Taco’s Are A Thing

Breakfast Taco’s are a staple breakfast menu item for Texan’s.

My first time visiting Texas I drove by a huge sign that read “BREAKFAST TACO’S”.  I thought it sounded rather disgusting.  Lunch food for breakfast?  That particular restaurant actin a little cray cray.

Later to find “Breakfast Taco’s” were everywhere, and very norm & I love them.

The concept is super simple, but most of the world is missing out!

Tortilla + Breakfast fillings.

Basic varieties:  Bean & Cheese / Potato, Egg & Cheese / Bacon, Egg & Cheese / Sausage, Egg, & Cheese

If you go to the awarded breakfast taco hot spots you’ll find varieties with everything –

Taco Deli: “The Otto: A house favorite! Organic refried black beans, bacon, avocado and Monterrey Jack Cheese”

Torchy’s Taco’s: “The Wrangler: Scrambled eggs & potatoes topped with smoked beef brisket & Jack Cheese, Served with Tomatillo Sauce”

Nowww you know why there are some Sunday morning’s I manage to stuff down three breakfast taco’s.  They’re too good. TOO GOOD I TELL YOU!

There’s no need to get all extraordinary with your tacos, here’s a basic start. And you can grow from there.

Basic Breakfast. Taco’s.

3 cooked scrambled egg

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 potato (Cooked – Either small cubes or shredded)

2 Small Tortillas

Salt

Pepper

Favorite Salsa

Directions: Warm your tortilla, best on a pan for just a couple seconds. Set tortilla on plate. Place potato, egg, then cheese on top of the tortilla in the amount you prefer.  (This is not a burrito, go light on the fillings.)  Top with a little salt & pepper + Salsa. Enjoy! (+ this recipe should make at least 2 tacos)

I know outside of Texas it can be hard to find a good salsa and especially a great tortilla.

(At one point I tried making homemade graham crackers in Dubai because I could no longer resist my cravings!)

So do what you can – make a salsa -> jalapeño, lime, salt, pepper, tomato, onion & cilantro.  And if you can’t find a good tortilla, screw it (tortillas are fattening anyway.)  Stack the ingredients in a bowl and eat a breakfast taco that way. YUM.

The best part of cooking at home is knowing what you’re eating.  LOVE IT!

Let me know if you try Breakfast Taco’s at home!  It’s a great way to mix up your mornings, right?!
