This very simple breakfast taco recipe is a favorite of both his daughters. Chef Camacho preps the ingredients beforehand and then everyone fills their tortilla with whatever they like. It’s an obvious winner with kids because they can create what they want — and get their hands a little dirty. “I put all the different fillings out and everyone builds their own,” he says. “You can feed a big family this way.” But even if a build-your-own breakfast taco bar is not your idea of an easy morning and you go for the eat-what’s-in-front-of-you route, it’s a fun way to begin the day. “The Dad Special” is a celebration of food, family, and fathers who cook. Featuring chefs, celebrities, and kitchen crazy dads, this collection highlights meals — from family secrets to quick kid delights — meant to honor time spent at the table.
