Southwestern Open-Face Breakfast Tacos

There’s a bit of a feud between Austin and San Antonio over which town introduced breakfast tacos to the world. No matter which city you side with, there’s one thing we can all agree on: this Tex-Mex classic is delicious. Our recipe pairs simple ingredients with spiced southwestern style pinto beans for a meal that’ll start your day sunny-side up. Make it on a busy weekday morning or for a brunch with friends. We love the blend of flavors in this recipe, but feel free to bring your own flair! Try swapping out a poached or scrambled egg for a fried one. Or, mix a different blend of spices into our Sidekicks Southwest Zest Pinto Beans. You can even toast your tortillas in the oven for a crunchier texture. Just don’t forget to set out plenty of Tapatío hot sauce for those who want to turn up the heat! We’ve partnered with Tapatío to create a few recipes with a little extra kick. Produced in Vernon, California, Tapatío has been a west coast mainstay since 1971. It’s the perfect addition to any southwestern-style dish, but Tapatío can also add some unexpected zing to other meals.

Just warm the beans, prepare an egg, and you’re already on your way to breakfast bliss.
