breakfast tacos

Tex-Mex dawn meal

Breakfast tacos are tacos filled with morning fare—typically scrambled eggs combined with ingredients like bacon, chorizo, cheese, beans, or potatoes, wrapped in a flour or corn tortilla.

A staple of Tex-Mex cuisine, they're especially associated with Texas, where they function as a portable breakfast: I grabbed a couple of breakfast tacos on my way to work.
