In 2016 an Austin food site claimed the breakfast taco for Austin, setting off a public feud with San Antonio, where taco lovers and local officials insisted their city had been eating them for decades longer.
A warm flour tortilla is folded around scrambled eggs with a choice of bacon, chorizo, potatoes, or refried beans and a hit of salsa. Taquerias and gas-station stands across central Texas sell them wrapped in foil for the morning commute.
Why it's made this way: The dish grew out of the Tejano ranching communities of central and south Texas, where flour tortillas, not corn, are the everyday bread.
