Breakfast Tacos…Tex-Mex Classic
I remember the days at our farm when life was so crazy raising our family. We had a 10 acre farm with 2200 Asian Pear Trees that kept us very busy. I always made sure the kids did not start the day unless they had a good breakfast. When I found these Breakfast Tacos..they were a big hit with the kids. They are so quick to make and when you have a houseful of children, since we did foster care too, along with our own kids you need that.Breakfast tacos are the perfect grab-and-go weekday breakfast. Just add some fruit and everyone is ready to go.Start your families day off with hearty Delicious Breakfast Tacos, they will request this Tex-Mex Classic often.
