Take your favorite late night fast food item, give it a major upgrade and now enjoy it for breakfast! Cue the applause! A soft cheesy outside, with a crunchy hash center and filled with Mexican style scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage and fresh spinach...honestly, I give these an overall 12/10. They are that good. It contains every aspect of the regular cheesy gordita crunch, but it’s healthier, contains fresh ingredients and has a fun breakfast twist to it.

I love these for so many reasons outside of the obvious, my love for tacos. First off, this is easily a versatile breakfast item because you can keep it vegetarian by eliminating the breakfast sausage or if you prefer a different protein such as ham or bacon go for it! Customizing your gordita taco has never been easier. You can also adjust the type of cheese if you have another favorite. Second, you can make these in bulk and for large crowds of people. So, let’s say you are having out of town guests stay over, I would suggest waking up and making a fun breakfast taco bar for everyone! All you need to do is assemble the gordita shells for everyone and then guests can assemble their own tacos how they would like with different sauces, toppings, and proteins. Three, it’s a meal that gathers everyone around the island for conversation and around the table for a good meal and a good time.

Now, don’t let the prep steer you away. There are a lot of moving parts on this one such as:

• Preparing the vegetables for the Mexican style eggs, prepping the eggs themselves and then making the Mexican eggs.
• Making the crispy hashbrowns that get melted in between the soft and hard shell tacos, yes I am drooling as we speak.
• Grating the fresh cheese block, however this is not necessary you can purchase the pre-bagged shredded cheese. But, I will say I ALWAYS recommend getting the block because it is so much fresher and tastes better.
• Assembling the shells and baking them.

If you are up for it, you can easily handle these items yourself. But, you have some extra helping hands you could make this a fun morning activity or even morning date with some mimosas in hand!

There is nothing like shaking things up by having Cheesy Hash Gordita for breakfast or even dinner because these could be for dinner too! Where are all my breakfast for dinner people at!?
