You can also get them with potatoes, but I tend to not add those since starch within starch is just a bit much. While I don’t advocate eating and driving (or eating and walking) these are up to the task, though they are equally as delicious in a more proper, sit-down forum.Ī breakfast taco is a regular 8-inch flour tortilla (almost always flour, but sometimes you see soft corn) stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheese and breakfast meat (or a sautéed vegetable such as peppers or cactus pads). They easily fit in your hand and your mouth, with all your breakfast needs self-contained in one neat, little package. Not to mention, these can run you $7 to even $13, which is expensive for a quick, morning meal.īreakfast tacos on the other hand are nimble and efficient. They’re always in that overstuffed, football-sized Mission style, which, despite my having a hearty appetite, is just a bit much for breaking the fast. Lots of New York restaurants offer breakfast burritos, but sadly, that’s not the same thing. (Though in Texas there are breakfast-taco joints that become destinations due to their excellence, but it’s not for the everyday.) A couple of places do sell them, but none of them are close to me-and that’s the key to a breakfast taco: it should be ready and available it’s just not quick and convenient if it becomes destination food. Tacos have taken New York City by storm, but it’s still not a breakfast taco town. And while quality varies, you always know you’ll find one and even a not-so-good one is never that bad. Sure, it may be from an authentic taqueria that has carnitas or babacoa to add to the eggs, or it may be from Whataburger, where the meat on offer is the less exotic (but no less satisfying) bacon or sausage. That’s how breakfast tacos are to Texans: they are our go-to breakfast, so ubiquitous you don’t think about it much. If that’s what you want to eat for breakfast, then your desire will be fulfilled. Every deli, bakery and street cart sells these (well, not all carts make eggs), and while quality varies, there is no shortage of supply. Most New Yorkers’ quick breakfast of choice is either a bagel or an egg sandwich-a scrambled or fried egg with a slab of American cheese (and sometimes bacon or sausage) on a Kaiser roll.
Breakfast tacos are one of those simple things you don’t really think about much, until you can’t find one.
