History
They are an everyday part of Tex-Mex breakfast, deeply rooted in San Antonio and Austin, where taquerias serve them from dawn. They combine the flour tortilla of northern Mexico and South Texas with fillings such as egg, bacon, potato, chorizo, or beans, a reflection of the region's Mexican American culture.
