This has been one cold week here in central Texas. We didn’t get the snow we were hoping for, just some ice and, today, lots of drizzle which made it a perfect day for burning brush.
After the now years-long drought we’ve been in, there are a lot of dead trees on our place. Little by little, John has been cutting them back and trimming dead growth around the house.
Irie and Tiki love brush burning days. I don’t know if it’s because we hang out for hours around the fire…or if it’s because we always have a picnic of breakfast tacos once the fire gets going.
John has the hard work of getting the fire going. Even on a cold morning like this, it’s hot, tiring, dirty work…
I, on the other hand, had the easy job: notify the few neighbors in our area, make some breakfast tacos, and then take Irie and Tiki down to join John to enjoy the fire and some breakfast. The girls had on their water-resistant Kurgo Portsmouth Coats this morning. 
If you don’t live in Texas, you might think breakfast tacos are a little unusual but, once you try them, you’ll be hooked. They’re super easy to make and perfect “on the go” breakfast food for days like today. Like regular tacos, you can get as fancy as you like but I keep mine simple and easy. I scrambled eggs and cooked some bacon. I also microwaved some flour tortillas. (They taste better if they’re cooked in a hot skillet or on the grill, just until slightly browned, but I was in a hurry.)
Once that’s all done, it’s just a matter of assembling the taco. You can add refried beans and salsa, which I would if I were ordering at a restaurant, but for today, I just put eggs, bacon, and cheese inside the tortilla and folded it up in foil. I loaded up an insulated lunch cooler, grabbed some drinks and the dogs, and I was then on my way down to the burn site.
Nothing tastes better than a breakfast taco enjoyed outside by an early morning brush fire!
