Breakfast Tacos


This was my first recipe I came up with. When Kim and I were first dating, I flew from Raleigh to San Antonio to see her at her grandparents house. On the way back, I had a 3 hour morning layover in Dallas at the DFW Airport. Of course, to pass the time I got a bite to eat at the TGI Friday's and ordered breakfast tacos (they don't serve anymore) and they were fantastic! As I ate the tacos and reflected on my wonderful weekend with my beautiful girlfriend Kimberly (now my wife) I thought to myself, "I could make those..." And so once I got back to my apartment I made them, and they were even better than the TGI Friday's version if I do say so myself.

Here's the recipe:
3 Tbs Olive Oil
1 lb red potatoes, diced
1/2 lb sausage, crumbled
5 eggs, scrambled
1 cup or so shredded cheddar cheese, for topping tacos
Spices (Chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, Cavender's Greek Seasoning (my favorite), Seasoned Salt, Salt and Pepper, and Italian Seasoning)
4 Taco size flour tortillas

Heat oil in large skillet and place potatoes in the skillet. While the potatoes are cooking, season the potatoes with all the spices (the main two to use the most of are chili powder and italian seasoning). Don't be afraid to season liberally because the potatoes are where the seasoning comes from in the tacos. Next, cook the sausage and the eggs in separate skillets. Finally brown tortillas in a buttered skillet. After the potatoes, sausage, and eggs are cooked thoroughly, place them in the tortilla and top with cheese. Fold tortilla like a taco and enjoy!
