Breakfast Tacos with Ham, Green Chilies, Eggs, and Cheese

Do you look forward to breakfast as much as I do? Sometimes I think I’m in the minority! While I can happily grab a piece of toast and coffee, my family loves a hearty breakfast. And, let’s be honest, it’s a nice change of pace from the usual cereal or oatmeal!

As a big fan of Mexican food, living in Phoenix with its amazing array of restaurantes mexicanos, I often turn to tacos for a flavorful and satisfying breakfast. This version combines ham, eggs, and green chilies for a truly delicious experience.
