The only day I really make breakfast is on Sunday, or with company. When I do though, Breakfast Tacos is one of my favorite recipes. Enjoy!
Breakfast Tacos with Ham, Green Chilies, Eggs and Cheese
Do you get excited for breakfast? I have to ask because sometimes I think I’m the only one in the world who doesn’t. For the most part, I could take it or leave it – just give me some toast with coffee and we’ll call it good. My family on the other hand? They love it all. To each their own, right?!
The only day I really make breakfast any more is on Sunday or if we have company. Otherwise, my family fends for themselves. Now that I think about it, maybe that’s why they like it so much – it’s not cereal, grits, oatmeal or smoothies! Ha! 🙂
I think y’all are more than aware by now that I just love Mexican food. Nine times out of ten, if given a choice of where to eat, I’m going to be looking for Mexican food! Living in Phoenix, there are tons of restaurants to choose from – I feel like I’ve hit the restaurante mexicano jackpot!
When I’m craving something South of the Border for breakfast, I often turn to tacos – because you can’t get more Mexican than tacos! In this variation, I decided to use ham, eggs and green chilies. Tacos for breakfast? ¡No hay nada mejor que esto! – It doesn’t get any better than this!

I just clicked and pinned this recipe (your link is on there of course…they can't get to it without coming to this page) on my pinterest page…and now I am concerned about that copyright issue, says cannot redistribute without your express permission… should I delete that pin?
Hi Renee! I just wanted to address your copyright concern – pinning is fine – no need to delete 🙂 I appreciate you wanting to do the right thing and thank you for pinning!
We love tacos for breakfast, Jamie! Looks like a great recipe – thanks for sharing! Lived in the Phoenix area for 18years – now a Texas girl 🙂
I get excited for breakfast for dinner, not so much for breakfast for breakfast…unless it's pizza for breakfast, if that makes any sense!!
I'd get excited for these though, especially if somebody made them for me 🙂
