A potato egg and cheese breakfast taco is such a common order in Texas that it is a featured item at Whataburger.
JFC would y'all shut up with this it's not a real debate.

[Chuck Rocha @ChuckRocha]

Take it from the lifelong Texas Mexican political professional, NOT a bunch of New Yorkers. This is one of the most common breakfast taco orders in the state. We’re not gonna tell you how to make pizza and you don’t tell us how to order tacos. #TexMex
