Scrambled eggs with Mexican chorizo and cheddar folded into a fresh flour tortilla, served with salsa verde at Fort Worth taquerias before sunrise. A Near Northside daily staple at Esperanza's on North Main.

Breakfast tacos in Fort Worth developed within the city's large Mexican-American community, concentrated around the Near Northside and Stockyards area since the meatpacking era of the late 1800s. Unlike the Austin breakfast taco, which gained national food-media attention in the 2010s, Fort Worth's version remained rooted in neighbourhood taquerias and Mexican bakeries that opened at dawn to serve workers before the city's warehouses and packing plants started for the day. Esperanza's on North Main has sold breakfast tacos since before the term became a food-media category, and the pattern of lard-enriched flour tortillas filled with egg and chorizo remains the dominant format.
