Dallas breakfast taco · Dallas
A flour tortilla folded around scrambled eggs, a protein (brisket, chorizo or bacon), potatoes and a fresh-made salsa. Dallas's default morning meal, served from taqueria windows and chef-driven counters.
The breakfast taco in Texas derives from the Tejano tradition of wrapping eggs and leftover proteins in a fresh flour tortilla for the morning meal. Dallas's version skews toward flour over corn and includes brisket as a distinctly Texan addition. Herrera's Cafe in Oak Cliff has served Tex-Mex breakfast tacos since 1949. The chef-driven iteration began with Resident Taqueria in the 2010s, which introduced house-pressed flour tortillas and slow-smoked brisket filling to the format.
