Potato and Egg Breakfast Tacos

by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom on April 21, 2009

I knew that today would be a BUSY day, so I planned accordingly.  Easy “breakfast dinner.”  I try to incorporate breakfast for dinner at least 2 or 3 times a month.  Helps keep the cost down and brings a little more variety to the table.  (Pun intended.) Plus, I was in no position to be whipping up a fancy meal after today’s media frenzy!!!

(Again…no photo.  I know these are an integral part of my posts.  Camera battery is charging and the camera will be back in action tomorrow!)

Ingredients
3-4 small potatoes ($.50) On sale this week $3/10 lbs
1 Tbsp oil ($.05)
8 eggs ($1.09)
6-8 flour tortillas ($.99) Use corn if gluten free (GF)
2 apples or small pieces of fruit ($.50) On sale AGAIN for 4/$1
Garnish: Salsa or shredded cheese ($.50-$1)

Directions
1. Peel and dice potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes. In small skillet, add oil and then diced potatoes. Set to medium and cook for about 8 minutes. Cover and stir 1 or 2 times while cooking. Season with salt, pepper and favorite “all purpose” seasoning.
2. In bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper. When potatoes have browned and softened, add eggs to the skillet. Scramble the eggs with the potatoes. Once eggs have cooked, spoon into tortillas. Place in warm oven until ready to serve.
3. Slice or dice apples or other favorite fruit.
4. Serve Potato and Egg Breakfast Tacos with Fresh Fruit. Garnish tacos with shredded cheese or salsa.

Cost $4.13

Still celebrating your amazing segment yesterday. Congrats! I’m looking for a pancake mix recipe to keep dry and sealed in my cabinet (kind of like Bisquick but MUCH healthier). Suggestions? Would love both a Gluten Free and non GF option. :)

I make these but I add a little bit of leftover ham or crumble sausage,bell pepper, mushrooms and some diced onion or whatever I happen to have. They are yummy.
Thanks for the reminder.
