BREAKFAST TACOS

Steps:

• In small bowl, beat eggs, garlic salt and pepper thoroughly with fork or wire whisk. Stir in bell pepper and onions.

Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout. Gently stir in cheese.
• Heat taco shells as directed on package. Place lettuce in shells. Spoon eggs onto lettuce. Top with avocado and salsa.

LEFTOVER-BRISKET BREAKFAST TACOS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack on the top level (or on a level that can accommodate a skillet) and preheat the broiler.
• Place the tomatoes, onion, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and a pinch of salt in a small cast-iron skillet, then toss together and spread evenly. Broil, tossing halfway through, until charred around the edges, about 15 minutes. Watch closely to prevent scorching. Add the tomato mixture to a blender with the chipotles and adobo sauce. Process until chopped, about 10 seconds. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the green chiles and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Taste and add more salt if needed. Set aside.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the brisket and cook, adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of olive oil if the pan seems dry, until crisped all over, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet, swirling to coat. Pour in the eggs and cook, undisturbed, until just set around the edges, about 15 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, pull the set egg from around the edges into the center of the skillet. Continue cooking, drawing the spatula around the edge of the pan every 15 to 20 seconds, until the eggs are softly set, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Fill the warmed tortillas evenly with the scrambled eggs, brisket, tomato salsa, cilantro and crushed potato chips if using.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN BREAKFAST TACOS

Steps:

• Crumble the sausage into a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly brown. Set aside.
• Heat one skillet over medium heat, and heat another skillet over high heat. The skillet over high heat is for warming tortillas. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Spray the medium heat skillet with some cooking spray, and pour in the eggs. Cook and stir until almost firm. Add the sausage, and continue cooking and stirring until firm.
• Meanwhile, warm tortillas for about 45 seconds per side in the other skillet, so they are hot and crispy on the edges, but still pliable.
• Sprinkle a little shredded cheese onto each tortilla while it is still hot. Top with some of the scrambled egg and sausage, then add hot pepper sauce and salsa to your liking.
