Tacos Are the Perfect Breakfast Food

The Origins and Anatomy of the Texas Staple By Laurel Randolph

When you hear the word breakfast, the first thing that comes to mind might be pancakes, cereal, or eggs and toast. Or it might be that energy bar you scarfed down on the way to work yesterday. But if you live in the southern half of Texas, chances are the word that popped into your head was “tacos!”

Breakfast tacos are a staple dish in Tex-Mex country, with their popularity spreading nationwide thanks to tourism. Festivals such as South by Southwest have exposed food lovers from around the country to the iconic dish, and restaurants in cities outside Texas now offer breakfast tacos on their morning menu.

The Origins of Breakfast Tacos

Tacos have long been eaten for breakfast in Mexico, but there’s nothing especially breakfast-y about them outside of the time of day. You can enjoy the same tacos at lunch or dinner, frequently consisting of fresh tortillas topped with a filling of meaty stew. It wasn’t until the rise of Tex-Mex that breakfast tacos became a thing—and now they are the thing.

While most out-of-towners assume the dish originates from the dynamic Austin food scene, it likely started further south and spread north. The exact origins are unknown, but the phrase “breakfast tacos” began to appear in San Antonio and Rio Grande Valley newspapers in the 1950s and 60s. They can now be found throughout southern Texas in restaurants and cafes, and at roadside stands and food trucks.

Breakfast Tacos

Tacos aren't just for lunch or dinner anymore; breakfast is the perfect time to enjoy your favorite food!

Ingredients

1 large potato, peeled and cubed into 1/2" pieces
Kosher salt to taste
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
4 oz. fresh chorizo sausage, casing removed
1/4 small yellow onion, diced
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 Tbsp. butter
3 large eggs, beaten
4 Soft taco flour tortillas (corn tortillas can be used if preferred)
1/2 Cup shredded cheddar

Optional Toppings

Your favorite hot sauce
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Sliced avocado
Pickled onions

Directions

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with 1" of cold water. Season water with kosher salt and bring to a boil. Simmer until potatoes are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add chorizo and onion cook, stirring occasionally, until chorizo is cooked through, and onions are translucent, 6 to 8 minutes.
Move chorizo and onion to the edges of your skillet and add another tablespoon of oil. Add drained potatoes to the center of the skillet and spread out in an even layer. Let cook undisturbed until undersides of potatoes begin to turn brown and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir potatoes into chorizo and turn off heat.
Make your eggs - in a medium nonstick skillet, melt butter and pour eggs and let set slightly, then reduce heat to medium-low. Drag the eggs with a spatula or wooden spoon to create curds. When the eggs are cooked to your liking, season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
Build your tacos - lightly toast each of your tortillas over an open flame or in a large dry skillet. Divide cheddar evenly between tortillas, then top with a scoop of chorizo and potatoes and a scoop of eggs. Serve with your choice of toppings.
