What I'm eating for Breakfast

Do you ever make something on the fly for yourself and like it so much you eat it almost every day?

I'm kinda funny that way, because I generally can't eat the same thing everyday.  Back when I had a proper office job, I had a good friend who would cook on Sunday and eat the same thing for lunch almost everyday that week.  I always marveled at that.   I think it's because I couldn't commit to eat the same thing everyday.  The funny thing is that I've been doing it for the past week.

Sometime in the last year I discovered the joy of breakfast tacos.  My understanding from watching Man vs Food and Diners, Drive-ins and Dives is that breakfast tacos can and often heaped with all kinds of  delicious toppings.  While delicious, that's so not what these are. These are super simple and so yummy that I have eaten then for breakfast for the last 5 days. The only reason I won't eat them tomorrow is because I ran out of corn tortillas and with the impending move I am trying not to grocery shop.

These literally take no more than 6 minutes to make and you will only dirty 1 plate, 1 knife, 1 spatula and 1 fry pan.  Meaning a relatively easy clean-up especially when you account for the supreme deliciousness.  Once we're settled in the new place, I will absolutely play around with different combinations, but for my easy go to, these a perfection.
