Food Fact
Breakfast tacos are a typical breakfast meal in south Texas. They are their go-to breakfast, so common place, they don’t think about it much. They’re everywhere in Texas from an authentic taqueria that has carnitas added to the eggs to even a place such as Whataburger.
Shopping Tip
Most supermarkets sell packages of taco shells. Look for these crispy shells in the same aisle where salsa is sold. I used a brand called Mission. Store leftover shells in an airtight plastic bag. They will keep wrapped for several weeks.
