Sin City Breakfast Tacos Recipes

ROBERT RODRIGUEZ' SIN CITY BREAKFAST TACOS

Steps:

• Note: Tortilla recipe yields 8-10.
• FLOUR TORTILLAS: In large mixing bowl combine the flour, salt and baking powder.
• Cut in the butter (or butter and lard) using a pastry blender or your hands until mixture is incorporated and coarse, like wet sand.
• Add 3/4 cup warm water and using your hands or a fork, form into a dough, not too sticky and not too dry. If too sticky, add more flour, too dry, add more water.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes until no longer sticky; the dough should feel smooth, elastic and not dry.
• Divide the dough up into 8-10 balls and arrange on a baking sheet.
• Lightly dampen a tea towel with warm water, cover the dough and let rest for 20 minutes.
• TACOS/MIGAS: Heat up about 2 tablespoons corn oil in a non-stick pan on medium heat and fry the potatoes until soft but not crispy.
• Season potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer potatoes to a paper towel lined plate.
• In the same pan, heat up 2 tablespoons of corn oil and fry the tomato, onion and jalapeno until onion [just] begins to soften. Set aside and keep warm.
• In the same pan, heat up some more oil (2 tablespoons or so) and fry up the corn tortilla strips until crispy.
• Set corn tortilla strips aside on a paper towel lined plate and drain.
• Using the same pan, heat up about 2 tablespoons butter and lightly scramble the eggs.
• Combine the tomato mixture, corn tortillas strips and eggs on a platter. Set aside and keep warm.
• Using a rolling pin, shape the flour tortillas into thin round circles about 6" in diameter. (Or use a wax paper lined tortilla press to form.).
• Heat up a cast iron skillet on medium heat. (If you want, you can add a [~small~] amount of bacon drippings to the skillet to cook the tortillas).
• Cook the tortillas until bubbles form and brown specks appear, about 1 minute. Turn over and cook other side, about another minute.
• Continue cooking all the flour tortillas in the same manner.
• Keep tortillas warm, stacking them one on top of the other until ready to serve. Do not allow to dry out! Use a dampened tea towel or tortilla warmer to keep tortillas pliable.
• To serve, divide the potato/egg mixture onto the flour tortillas. Fold in half and eat!
• Important note: Servings are estimated.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN BREAKFAST TACOS

Steps:

• Crumble the sausage into a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly brown. Set aside.
• Heat one skillet over medium heat, and heat another skillet over high heat. The skillet over high heat is for warming tortillas. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Spray the medium heat skillet with some cooking spray, and pour in the eggs. Cook and stir until almost firm. Add the sausage, and continue cooking and stirring until firm.
• Meanwhile, warm tortillas for about 45 seconds per side in the other skillet, so they are hot and crispy on the edges, but still pliable.
• Sprinkle a little shredded cheese onto each tortilla while it is still hot. Top with some of the scrambled egg and sausage, then add hot pepper sauce and salsa to your liking.
