We've been regulars at Torchy's Tacos, the food truck turned restaurant that has put down roots in every corner of Austin, since it first opened. But only recently did we learn about their secret menu, and good Lord is it amazing! This taco combines some of my favorite elements from the secret tacos- most notably a huge upgrade from the scrambled egg to a runny-yolked fried one (such a classy taco!), and my favorite thing ever- a double tortilla wrapper, in which a corn tortilla is shallow fried until it is just starting to get crispy and then wrapped in a toasted flour tortilla. The corn tortilla offers great crunch, and the flour tortilla keeps your hands from getting greasy. Black beans and fried eggs go beautifully together and both are made all the more enjoyable with a pile of fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, some sharp cheddar, and a bit of pickled jalapeno. This taco has everything going for it and comes together remarkably quickly too.
