A savory hash of curried crispy potatoes, green peppers and onions are stuffed into tortillas with avocado and smothered in hot sauce to make these super easy, spicy and delicious breakfast potato tacos.
I’m always saying I like savory breakfasts, but I realized something recently: I actually like spicy breakfasts. Savory is fine, but I always, always drench my savory breakfast food it in hot sauce. I discovered this as I ate these tacos for breakfast last week. There’s just something about hot coffee hitting your tongue while it’s still burning from hot sauce. Is it just me? My husband thinks I’m nuts, but he’s not a big spicy food person. He ate his tacos sans hot sauce, which you can do too if that’s how you roll.
The other thing I look for in a breakfast: carbs. I think that’s why I tend to go for sweet breakfasts when I’d really rather be munching on something savory.
So here savory and carb meet, and the resultant tacos made me very happy.
You don’t have to eat these for breakfast. They’d make a great, super easy, potentially spicy, carby dinner. Come to think of it, that’s my favorite kind of dinner too. I guess these tacos are just awesome all around. I can deal with that.

Awwww…thank you! I’ve been working so hard on my photography, so that makes me very happy to hear. :)
I’m not sure that I’d eat these for breakfast (I am hardly used to having something thing savoury for breakfast, never mind spicy!), but I can’t wait to try these out one lunch time!
