Breakfast taco
It is believed that breakfast tacos were first created in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. The earliest known recipe for breakfast tacos appeared in a cookbook published in Texas in the 1970s. The dish became popular in the 1980s, when taco stands began appearing in Austin. Breakfast tacos are typically made with eggs, cheese, and sausage or bacon wrapped in a soft tortilla.
The popularity of breakfast tacos has grown in recent years, with many restaurants now offering them on their menus. Breakfast tacos have also been featured on television shows and in magazines. In 2010, the breakfast taco was named one of the “7 Wonders of the Culinary World” by the Food Network.
With their tasty combination of eggs, cheese, and meat, it’s no wonder breakfast tacos have become so popular. Whether you like them with sausage or bacon, these tacos are sure to start your day off right!
