A Better Breakfast Taco
Breakfast. “The word is a portmanteau of ‘break’ and ‘fast’, referencing the end of the fast of the previous night; it is widely referred to as the most important meal of the day.” And for good reason..
Skipping breakfast can increase your body’s insulin response, leading to both increased fat storage and decreased physical activity, placing you at significantly higher risk for obesity and disease.
I skipped breakfast for years. And for years, I would find myself in the office break-room at 10:00, staring ravenously at the garbage in the vending machines. You know the drill..
Forget the drive-through. Here’s a faster, healthier take on breakfast tacos..
A Better Breakfast Taco
Heat freshly-made tortillas in a lightly-greased comal or skillet (check out Homesick Texan or CHEESESLAVE for help making tortillas). Keep warm.
Meanwhile, heat a teaspoon of pastured butter in a skillet until it just begins to brown, then crack pastured eggs into one side of the pan.. fried, scrambled, however you prefer..
Add bits of chorizo, green onion, tomato and jalapeño to the other side of the pan and sauté for just a minute or two.
Season all with sea salt and cracked pepper and a pinch of cumin and oregano. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve wrapped in warm tortillas.
Better, faster, cheaper.
¡A su salud!

Thanks! All I really know to do is to use natural light and a tripod, and take lots of shots.
