When Is the Best Time to Eat Egg Tacos?

Egg Tacos @glutenfree_noms

Are tacos breakfast food? It is a question that is all too common. We believe that the answer is simple. If a taco is nothing more than a tortilla filled with meat and / or vegetables, then yes, tacos can in fact span the boundaries of breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The natural follow up question is, does the filling determine what time the taco can be consumed, and therefore, determine the type of meal? In other words, can an egg taco only be considered a breakfast item? If so, is the consumption of these tacos limited to the confines of breakfast time, only daring to enter into brunch on weekends and holidays?

Call us food forward, but we don’t believe in limiting food to a certain time of day. Savory foods can be eaten for breakfast just as sweet meals can be consumed at dinner. Therefore, although the name itself poses a mealtime contradiction, egg tacos are in fact a ubiquitous meal item. 

For anyone who has not made egg tacos themselves, the recipe can be as minimal as three ingredients. The recipe below includes eggs, corn tortillas, and green chiles. So, let's whip up a little breakfast for dinner, or is it dinner for breakfast?
