A bad breakfast taco is still delicious though (unless its burnt)

I used to agree with this until I got a taco at the Donut Palace in Lampasas on a work trip years ago. I asked for a potato and egg. Lady got up, grabbed a taco wrapped in wax paper, popped into microwave, voila. That taco was tossed from the window before I left the city limits.

And buccees breakfast tacos.They really need to step up their game.

---

I'm old enough to remember when Buccees breakfast taco setup was similar to Stripes and they made them right in front of you to order with homemade tortillas. This was before the first megastore. They are now made of powdered eggs & factory tortillas and flat out suck. Not to mention they won't make one your way anymore.. They're printing $$ so they don't give two ****s about quality or stepping up their game.

---

I remember when Buccees pilfered the hippo from Mendoza's (RIP) on the creek.

Problem was that people were waiting in line too long to have them made like they used to, and Beaver decided with a more factory like approach to get more customers in and out the door. And, you can have them make them your way if you order at the kiosk and not just grab one of the premade ones.

Perhaps an uncommon opinion fir breakfast tacos…

Corn tortillas > Flour

Absolutely not

Johnsonville cheddar brat wrapped in a tortilla is the perfect breakfast taco

Guisada with rice and cheese is money as is fajita with avocado and green sauce.

Papas Rancheras with cheese
Papas Rancheras with Chorizo
Picadillo with bean


Good hunting camp taco is sausage, hasbrowns, onion, and eggs.

I could go on.

Take this BS to the sausage wrap thread.

OP called a breakfast scramble a 'breakfast taco' so anything is fair game in this thread.

So take your gate-keeping and shove it where the t-sips are.

What you have described is very tasty indeed, but it is not a taco.

Wrapped in a tortilla, it's a taco. Maybe not a traditional taco but a German Mexican fusion taco.

It's not not a taco.

My favorite is chicken fajitas in a whole wheat pita.....Best damm taco going.

Sunday morning I had the barbacoa breakfast taco (2) at Mary's in Kerrville.

Damn they're good!

I like to take an Egg McMuffin, chop it up, and place inside a tortilla. Top it with hot sauce. Maybe next time I'll try it with a McGriddle.

Unless they've improved recently, Buc-ee's should be banned from making breakfast tacos.

If you're ever in Cypress and are on the go, try the ones from MEX Taco House on 290. If you got time to sit down, I recommend their chilaquiles.

How about a recipe for the chicharron en salsa?

Thanks!

My basic way of making it is to make your preferred salsa. I do it in all kinds, but my favorite is in a hot ass green sauce (salsa verde). To make the salsa is pretty simple, just boil 6 to 8 tomatillos, along with a garlic clove, peppers to taste and of the variety you want, a thick slice of onion. Boil for about 10 min on a slow boil, maybe 15.

Let mixture cool some. Take, the contents that were boiled out, also take the stem off any peppers, and set aside. Pour about 3/5ths of the remaining liquid out. In the liquid that is remaining add a few pinches of chicken broth powder such as Knorr or whatever it is.

Take the boiled contents and put into a blender, add some cilantro (to taste) and another thick slice of raw onion. Add spices which you may like. Puree this to a slightly chunky state. Add some oil to skillet and heat up, when oil is hot, sautee the sauce for a spell, let it boil a bit. Remove from heat.

Now, take pork cracklings, the harder the better, and add those to the boiling sauce and let simmer. About 3 or 4 min in add about half the remaining water with the chicken stuff in it, let cook for about 10 minutes, then add the rest. Need to simmer chicharron about 20 to 30 minutes. Crackling to sauce ratio is about 1/4 of a pound, maybe a little more, to about a cup and half of sauce. I like my chicharron en salsa wet, some like it dryer.

Sounds awesome. Do you add anything to your taco, other than eggs? Potatoes or frijoles?

I am a purist, I like my chicharron all by itself. Although last month I ordered a chicharron taco in Brenham, Texas and they apparently come with rice in them. I asked for no rice por favor. Well they put rice in it, and it was actually damm good.

People like egg and chicharron, not me so much. I won't turn it down if free, but I wont order it nor will I make it. I just like chicharron tacos.

I don't eat eggs, so my choices are somewhat limited.

Bean, bacon, cheese w/pico is my go to.

I love picadillo , but it's tough to find.

---

I'm not a big fan of eggs. One of my go to tacos is bacon and potato with plenty of salsa.

---

I'm so very sorry for you regarding your lack of love for eggs. If I had to be stranded on an island with only one food, eggs would be right up there in my list. But, I do love your go to... Bacon and potato with plenty of salsa would be on my list as well.
