FRESH Ideas For Father's Day Breakfast
Glen Smith, a financial planner for Edward Jones in Tyler, may know a few things about money but he also knows breakfast tacos.
As a graduate of University of Texas, he's eaten his fair share of Austin's heralded taco stand, breakfast tacos and hasn't found one that compares to his own creation.
Smith is famous in his own right with his two kids, their friends and most of the neighborhood for the tacos he makes on Saturday mornings.

Glen Smith's Father's Day Breakfast Tacos
INGREDIENTS
1 tube Jimmy Dean plain sausage
1 red onion, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 eggs, beaten
2 cups tater tots, thawed (enough to cover the bottom of a 9-inch sauté pan)
4 tablespoons butter, divided
6 flour tortillas
Salsa, for garnish
Grated cheddar cheese, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
You will need two 9-inch nonstick sauté pans for this recipe. In one pan sauté the sausage with the onion until almost browned. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until meat is browned and garlic is softened. In the other pan melt two tablespoons of butter. Add the tater tots to the pan and spread out in a single layer. Press them down into the pan and allow them to brown on one side for about two minutes. Shake the pan to keep the tots from sticking. Add the remaining butter, if necessary. Flip the tots and let them brown on the other side. In the pan with the sausage pour in the eggs. Using a spatula, lightly scramble the eggs into the sausage. Allow the eggs to cook through. Meanwhile heat your tortillas in a low oven or microwave. To assemble the tacos add some of the tater tots to the tortilla and then some of the sausage and egg mixture. Top with salsa & grated cheese.
