Breakfast Tacos

From Aliisa:

Sally stopped by and wanted my recipe for Breakfast Tacos so here it is. I do have to say that this is a very versatile recipe and you can use anything you want.

I make several different versions and its hard to give you amounts, just depends on how many you are feeding. Left overs can be stored in the refrigerator and heated up for breakfast on another day.

Potato and Egg

1 lg potato, diced
6 eggs, beaten
salt
pepper
tortillas
shredded cheese (optional)
picante (optional)

In a skillet, cook diced potatoes until soft. Add beaten eggs and scramble. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (I use an ice cream scoop to put on tortilla) Spoon mixture onto warm tortillas and top with shredded cheese and picante if you want. Roll up and eat.

Sausage and Egg
1 lb breakfast sausage
8 eggs, beaten
salt
pepper
tortillas
shredded cheese (optional)
picante (optional)

In a skillet, brown breakfast sausage. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble. Season to taste and place in warm flour tortillas top with cheese and picante.

Bacon and egg
Cook bacon and crumble. Scramble eggs with the crumbled bacon. Season to taste and place in tortillas with cheese and picante.

Bean and egg
Warm up 1/2 can of refried beans in a skillet, add 6 beaten eggs and scramble. Season to taste and serve in warm tortillas with cheese and picante. For a wonderful variation: Add potato to this one.

Leftover breakfast tacos
If you have left over roast, pork or beef you can dice it up, throw it in a skillet and warm it up. Add eggs and anything else you want such as potatoes or refried beans and serve in a tortilla.

One of our favorite leftover breakfast tacos:

I use leftover taco meat (this is 1lb ground meat with 1 can refried beans, taco seasoning, chili powder, garlic and cumin)
Whenever I have leftovers from soft tacos, I throw this in my skillet with a little water and warm it up. I add beaten eggs and serve in tortillas with cheese and picante.

Veggie breakfast taco

1/2 onion diced
1/2 cup diced green pepper
handful spinach leaves
1 diced tomato
6 eggs, beaten
tortillas
shredded cheese
picante

In a skillet, saute onions and green peppers. When almost done add diced tomato and spinach leaves. Cook till spinach is wilted. Add eggs and scramble. Season with salt and pepper or italian seasonings. Serve on warm tortillas with shredded cheese and picante.

You can add anything you want in the eggs to make breakfast tacos. Just add your family's favorite ingredients and you can never go wrong!!

Hope this helps you Sally!!

Busy Busy Busy

From Aliisa:

Im sorry I havent blogged in awhile but I have been so busy. I threw a huge 30th birthday party for my husband with a Mexican Fiesta theme. I made homemade enchiladas, tacos, spanish rice and beans and all the fixings for it. We played horseshoes, ladder golf and even had a pinata. It was a GREAT party.

We also have 2 weddings coming up so I have been spending all my spare time working on afghans. I love to crochet afghans for wedding presents, unfortunately it takes alot of time to get them done. We also found out my brother and his wife are having a baby so I will be working on a baby blanket for them. Im thinking I will be crochetting my little fingers to the bone *lol*

I have recently become interested in cake decorating as well. I have only done 3 cakes in my life and they were ok but I have decided that I really want to learn to do a better job. So I purchased the wilton class books and while Im not taking the class I will be teaching myself at home. Im very excited about starting this but I still have to work on the blankets.

I hope everyone is doing great. Sally stopped by and wants me to continue posting my menu plans so I will work hard to get those posted every week.

Have a great day!!
