Breakfast Tacos
Ingredients:
For the tortillas (makes 6)
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
For the breakfast tacos
- 1 large potato, cubed
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 package soy chorizo or any other meat/meat substitute you like
- Scrambled eggs (however many eggs you need - we usually do 2 per person)
- Other toppings such as salsa, cheese, avocado, chives, lime, cilantro
- Tortillas
Instructions:
For the tortillas
- Mix the flour, salt and baking powder until combined.
- Add the water and vegetable oil, mixing until a dough forms (I just used a spoon, but you could use a mixer).
- Transfer to a lightly floured surface and divide the dough into 6 equal balls.
- Pat each dough ball between your hands to flatten it as much as you can and lay it out on parchment paper. Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes.
- Roll out each tortilla until it is about 6 inches in diameter and very thin.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, place a tortilla in the pan and let cook for about 1 minute. The side facing up will start to bubble.
- Flip the tortilla over and cook for another 30 seconds until there are golden brown spots on each side.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
For the breakfast tacos
- Combine the cubed potato with the olive oil and spices (through Italian seasoning) in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until potatoes are soft, stirring regularly (about 15 minutes).
- Cook the soy chorizo or other protein according to package instructions (the soy chorizo takes about 5 minutes so I usually wait for the potatoes to be done).
- Scramble your eggs and serve with the potatoes, soy chorizo and other toppings on homemade tortillas.
