Breakfast Tacos

This is a very traditional Texas breakfast, and quick to prepare. It can be prepared in advance, and filling ingredients and tortillas heated in the microwave in the morning. When the ingredients are set out, kids on the run can quickly build a taco, and wrap it to go. The prep and cook time indicated are estimates and vary based on the fillings chosen.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Yields: 12 tacos

Ingredients

• 6  cups  scrambled eggs or 6  cups  fried potatoes or 6  cups hash browns or 6  cups chorizo sausage or 6  cups  refried beans or 6  cups  crumbled spicy breakfast sausage or 6  cups bacon or 6  cups  leftover  meat (assorted hot and cooked fillings of your choice)
• 1  dozen 6-inch flour tortillas, heated (fresh if you can find them)
• 2  cups  shredded cheese, such as mild cheddar,pepper jack or monterrey jack,or a combination
•  salsa, of your choice
•  chopped cilantro

Directions

1. Set out bowls containing the fillings, cheese, salsa and cilantro.
2. Each person builds their own taco by placing the fillings of their choice in the center of the tortilla, and topping it with cheese, salsa and a little cilantro.
3. Fold the taco and eat as is, or if you prefer, fold the filled tortilla and spread some butter on the top half of the folded tortilla and place under the broiler a few minutes to"crisp" the top a bit and melt the cheese inside.
4. One of my favorites is scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, salsa and cilantro.
5. Potato, egg and cheese with salsa tacos are popular in my household, too.
