Make Breakfast Tacos

Breakfast tacos are a favorite breakfast in San Antonio. If you can scramble an egg and use a microwave, you can make breakfast tacos. The varieties are endless.

Ingredients

  • Tortillas - flour and/or corn. Corn is lower fat and heartier.
  • Basic Fillings: bacon fried crisp, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes.
  • Advanced Fillings: breakfast sausage or chorizo cooked and crumbled, ham, heated canned refried beans.
  • Condiments: salsa and grated cheese are the basics. You can also include Pico de gallo, cilantro, chopped onion, chopped FRESH JalapeƱo peppers, lime, salt and pepper

Steps

  1. Prepare the fillings.
  2. Wrap the tortillas in a damp kitchen towel (no more than 10 tortillas at a time) and microwave until hot, about 30 seconds.
  3. Put everything out in a buffet for your guests to assemble their favorite ingredients.



Tips

  • Spicy is possible, but not required.
  • The easiest way to do the potatoes is to prepare frozen hash browns as directed.
  • For breakfast tacos while camping, you can heat the tortillas on a grill.
  • If the corn tortillas are thin, stack two.
  • Plan on about two tacos per average eater, about 1 egg per taco.
  • In San Antonio, we order like this: "one bacon, potato and egg on corn" or "one bean and cheese on flour".

Warnings

  • Don't overfill the tacos.
  • A tortilla heated in a microwave is an abomination. Heat them on the stove.
  • Don't over-spice the individual ingredients.
