Next up in my series “the United Plates of America” is breakfast tacos for Texas! These tacos are easy to make but really hit the spot.
When most people think of Texas they think of BBQ, which is fair, but I wanted to do something a little different. Luckily, breakfast tacos are also very popular in Texas and just as delicious!
In 2016 Texas had the “great breakfast taco war” which was a debate / fight between San Antonio and Austin over which city had a better breakfast taco! I don’t know if a clear winner was ever declared, but clearly breakfast tacos are a big deal.
These breakfast tacos are a perfect way to get a filling breakfast, or even dinner! Connor and I had them for dinner and they hit the SPOT. You can obviously add whatever toppings and variations you want, but the combination here is a good one.
