TEX-MEX BACON BREAKFAST TACOS
Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry. Mexicans often include potatoes in tacos, burritos, and other tortilla dishes. These breakfast burritos are delicious and easy to prepare, and I got the idea from eating at a taco stand in Mexico City. Why not put a Tex-Mex twist on breakfast burritos by utilizing American cheese, and hickory smoked bacon with eggs and diced potatoes? It's always a hit.
