On the side of the perfect breakfast tacos are those that believe a perfect breakfast taco must include mesquite-grilled brisket.

Breakfast Taco

The first component of the perfect breakfast taco is the mesquite-grilled brisket. The smoky and slightly sweet flavors of the mesquite wood perfectly complement the rich, savory flavor of the brisket. This cut of meat is a staple in Texas cuisine and is prepared by slow-cooking it over low heat, allowing the meat to become tender and juicy. The mesquite wood adds a unique flavor to the meat, giving it a distinct taste that is both bold and delicious.

To prepare the brisket for the breakfast taco, it is marinated in a blend of spices and seasonings. The most common combination of spices used are salt, pepper, garlic, and chili powder which creates a rub that is applied to the meat before grilling. This blend of spices adds depth and complexity to the meat, enhancing its natural flavor and creating a mouth-watering aroma. Once the brisket is grilled to perfection, it is sliced into thin strips, ready to be used in the breakfast taco. The succulent, juicy meat is the perfect complement to the other ingredients, adding a satisfying and hearty element to the dish.

Tex-Mex Flavors

The second component of the perfect breakfast taco is classic Tex-Mex flavors. These flavors are a fusion of Mexican and Texan cuisine, combining spices, herbs, and ingredients to create a unique and delicious blend. The classic Tex-Mex ingredients used in the breakfast taco include eggs, cheese, salsa, and avocado.

The eggs are typically scrambled and cooked until they are light and fluffy. This provides a creamy and savory element to the taco, adding a richness and depth of flavor. Most often sharp cheddar is used in breakfast tacos. However, some breakfast tacos are topped off with a Mexican blend of cheeses that includes Monterey jack, asadero, cheddar, and queso quesadilla cheese. The cheese is typically shredded and sprinkled over the eggs, providing a salty and delectable element to the dish.

Two types of salsa are usually paired with breakfast tacos. There is your typical salsa, which is red in color, and then salsa verde, which is green in color. The standard red salsa can be either mild or spicy, depending on personal preference, and is typically made with tomatoes, onions, chili peppers, and cilantro. Salsa verde can also range in spiciness from mild to spicy and is made with tomatillos, lime, jalapenos, cilantro, and onion.

Add Creamy Fresh Avocado

Finally, avocado is added to the breakfast taco, providing a velvety and satisfying element to the dish. Avocado is a staple in Tex-Mex cuisine and is often used as a topping or ingredient in many dishes. It adds a richness and depth of flavor to the breakfast taco, providing an enjoyable and healthy element to the dish.

All of these ingredients are combined in a warm tortilla to create the perfect breakfast taco.
