Taco

Breakfast tacos Egg, potato, bacon, chorizo or beans and cheese in a warm flour tortilla: the most useful food in Texas. The earliest stateside mention found in print is a 1959 San Antonio newspaper story about a taco vendor who started on the West Side and sold bean and egg tacos downtown. San Antonio and Austin both claim the dish, and in 2016 the rivalry got so heated that Austin's mayor declared war on San Antonio, later settled at a treaty summit with San Antonio's mayor. Pick two fillings, add salsa, and you have a cheap, portable breakfast that beats any drive-through.
