NSIAP, one of my favorite breakfast tacos is the Otto from tacodeli.  It’s mashed black beans, avocado, and bacon.  I put a schtickle of Dona on there.  There are no eggs on it and if you don’t consider that a breakfast taco, you live in a part of Texas with access to shitty restaurants.  

Sorry some of us live near the original tacodeli where many of their breakfast tacos, including the frontera fundido, don’t feature eggs.  

 

I don't care for gringo-fied taco places very much.  But when Tacodeli is on the menu, the Otto is my go-to -- yeah, they're black beans, but they're either made with lard (the right way), or the bacon addition gives 'em that perfect pork smoke salt flavor.  Reminds me of a good bean and cheese breffiss taco growing up.  And hell yes add the dona sauce (I just bought a tub of the similar sauce from La Finca on North Lamar -- I re-load every time I get my haircut at Bob's Barber Shop). 

Ever order a full mexican breakfast plate somewhere?  Maybe one that comes with refrieds, bacon, eggs, and tortillas?  Plenty of times, I eat my eggs, and use the bean and bacon to make tacos.  We are the people that decided to put goddamned anything you can imagine on a tortilla.  Mexico should win its own Nobel Prize just for that.

I'm sure that's legit, but it's an easy sauce to roll on your own.  A pound of jalapenos (boiled), a head of garlic, some olive oil to texture and salt to taste . . . voila.

Nobody here is anti egg or saying that’s bad - it’s awesome, actually.

We just like ALL the breffis tacos. Y’all are arguing that only blondes are suitable for morning loving. We’re noting that like hell, brunettes and redheads are appropriate, too. We love em all.

I'm going to escalate this because that's what Beau Vine wants. Fuck eggs on breakfast tacos.

Agree....but I'm the only one in the house who likes it.  So, making a huge batch is a waste.

Well, you're just not eating enough of it.

And that's a fair criticism.

The other day, I had some leftover Doritos -- you know, the broken pieces at the bottom of the bag.  I poured them into a paper boat.  I poured some of La Finca's dona sauce on 'em.  I ate 'em with a spoon.  I thought of submitting my masterpiece to the Smithsonian, but then, I couldn't have eaten it, too.

The answer to that question has to be no.  Otherwise the Real Deal Holyfield from Valentina's TexMex BBQ wouldn't be a breakfast taco.271877_original.jpg

They're organic!

My “breakfast” tacos with eggs, sausage, avacodo, cheese and Cholula made a solid breakfast. The eggs really pulled the whole thing together.

When you start your car tomorrow morning, it would be a shame if.... something were to.... happen.....

I just hope that this "breffis" slang doesn't really become a thing. 

We should all be able to agree on that. Like people who refer to sandwiches as sammies. Shove cute lingo up your fucking ass.

If it was socially acceptable to have eggs at every meal I would.

It's not?

I recently discovered this little gem of a spot in San Pedro.  The Chori Man, where almost everything on the menu has their homemade chorizo in it.  The breakfast burrito (made with over easy eggs instead of scrambled) was one of the best I've ever eaten.

since i live in the Burrito Capital of the Planet, San Diego, I have to say that I like burritos.

But prefer them over tacos? Like the man says, the only real difference is the tortilla size

This thread needs more lighter fluid. 

 

Corn vs. Flour? Specifically for the breakfast variety. I'm hoping everyone answers this one right. 

Flour is easier. Corn is better when done right. Both are proper.

It's actually not uncommon in tex-mex english.  As is "sangwich," which drives a friend of mine muy crazy.  Her husband and three boys all say it, and she hollers "goddamit that's not how you say it!"  But what does she know, she's Puerto Rican.

My college buddies and I always use "sangwich" as used at the end of the prison cooking scene in Goodfellas.  Thought that was an Italian thing.

It may just be a generic linguistic laziness of recent immigrant cultures.  I dunno.  I just know that almost all the folks I know who say "sangwich" are tex-mex.

OK, now that's going too far.  Let the first man who has worked on a construction crew and not vocalized a desire for a nice roast beef sangwich and a couple of Meelers Lites cast the first stone.

If you want to really split hairs, you can debate the unofficial nomenclature of ordering breakfast tacos.

For example, you would never order a cheese and bean taco. That's just wrong. It's always bean and cheese.

Also, it's always ______ and egg (e.g., potato and egg, bacon and egg, chorizo and egg, wiener and egg, etc.) and then any extras (cheese, guac, or god forbid sour cream, etc). The correct usage is: "Give me a potato and egg with cheese and guacamole." Don't fucking say, "Give a taco with cheese, guacamole, eggs and potato."

If you have a taco with eggs, beans and cheese, it's always a bean and egg with cheese. It's not a bean and cheese with eggs. Why? I have no fucking clue but that's the way it is.

Correct.  "Cheese and bean" is almost as bad as "the OU-Texas game" (and I feel dirty for just typing it out).

You misspelled "delicious." And not redundant if in a flour tortilla.

It's Brisket's dad's theory in action:  wrap the migas in a tortilla and you're out the door.  No foul.

I may be fucked in the head but a brisket and tortilla taco isn't a breffis taco for me but throw some fucking beans in there and I consider it a breffis taco.  

 

Shit is getting complicated.

a migas taco is the whitest shit on planet earth.  and being redundant does not preclude deliciousness.  but it’s still redundant.

Migas are pretty white to begin with. There used to be a time if you went to Corpus and tried to order migas they'd either look at you like you have two heads or just bring you chilaquiles instead.
