Tacos

[IrishEyes]

When you have tacos, do you prefer hard or soft shells? Also what kind of taco?

Personally, I like a hard shell taco with black beans, salsa, tomato, lettuce, cilantro and guacamole.

1. Hard shell

Traditional (or whatever we Yanks call it), seasoned ground beef, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and (lots of) sour cream. Been making them a lot lately as they’re best with real summer tomatoes which will be gone soon

[Polly Hennessey]

3. I'm with you,

except for the sour cream.

2. I like soft shell/flour tacos

Corn tacos are great for Passover

4. I grew up with

my parents' favorites, soft shell corn tortillas. I later came to love flour tortillas when I lived in San Diego. My favorite dish at that time was machaca con huevos w/flour tortillas.

5. Soft corn tortillas... I'll eat em with anything inside

Especially pickled red onions

6. There's nothing that compares to fresh tortillas made from masa

Back in the day I used to go across the border and pick up a kilo from the tortilleria for a dime. You cook up a batch of carnitas with some sliced purple onions, chopped cilantro, homemade Mexican crema, and some homemade salsa verde.

7. Hardshell chicken tacos

My favorite big brand stopped making white corn hard shells. I have tried these new hard shell flour ones which were interesting. What else I put in them varies.


Peace

8. Large soft shells

mild seasoned ground chuck, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, Spanish rice, refried beans, diced tomatoes, mild salsa, lettuce, sour cream, and olives.

10. Hard shell with porto bellos, bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, black olives, toms & avocado slices

The above diced, sliced, and sauteed together.

Black bean and corn salsa (black beans, corn, cilantro, tomatillo, green onion with salt/pepper and lime juice) Mixed and chilled.

Sour cream and cheese.

13. guess what I'm having for dinner tonite

this recipe with a cold cervesa or three One question though: Can you sautee avacado?

MMMMMMMMMMMM!

Thanks.

[Solly Mack]

16. You saute as long as you want but I save the avocado (yes, it can be sauteed)

until last, just before the shrooms and tomato. Also, the avocado and tomato blend while cooking to an almost guacamole taste - without all the mixing. Both still separate but blended. Same with all of them really - all blended but all still distinct. I slice my avocado thick but everything can be sliced or diced as thick/chunky as you want it to be.

Adding harder veggies first to softer items.

I forgot to add - add your own favorite taco seasonings. But that is a MUST. To the saute, of course.

I get a jar from the local Mexican food shop. Not spicy or red - just tasty.


Drain the black beans, corn (I use frozen corn, thawed/drained), dice the tomatillo and onions, chop the herb - as much lime juice as you like. S&P to taste.

Make the salsa, do the other prep, get to cooking. Adjust as you want.

I hope you enjoy! These tacos are one of my favorite things to eat.

18. Mmmmmmmmmm, that was good

still have enough left overs for two full tortillas.

Thanks for that recipe. It's a keeper.

[Solly Mack]

19. I'm glad you liked it. Tinker with it and let me know your results.

I enjoy playing with recipes.

11. Soft corn with fish or shrimp, shredded cabbage, and remoulade.😋

[Wounded Bear]

12. Yes...

[Kali]

23. My answer too. LOL

Depends on the taco.

[DinahMoeHum]

14. Soft corn tortillas. . .

. . .with either shredded chicken, beef, pork, or ground beef; lettuce, tomatoes, onions, shredded cheese and either red salsa or jalapeno relish (which I make by simply pulsing a jar of pickled jalapenos several times in my food processor)

And I love to make 'em and eat 'em on Friday evenings, with a cold longneck and listening to Radio Margaritaville!

15. Prepare to be blown away.

17. Tacos.

[OriginalGeek]

20. You get it.

I used to be all hard shell ground beef Taco bell style until a friend handed me a spare Taco al Pastor from a local Mexican walkup taco stand. Oh lort! I don't even like raw onions but i can't even imagine not having them on these tacos. The hot sauce on them makes me cry and sweat and makes my nose run so I basically have to go get them and eat them alone in my car so nobody sees me and it's one of the greatest things I've ever had.

[Iggo]

21. I'm with you...

...both on the raw onions (hate 'em otherwise, but gotta have 'em on my tacos), and salsa that's at least one step more intense than what I usually go with, something with legs.

One quibble with the tacos in the picture I provided...that's WAAAY too much cilantro.

[OriginalGeek]

24. lol, i'm one of those people

who register cilantro as soap. But I don't mind it on these kind of tacos (although yeah, that is a bit much).

I got my mouth washed out with soap so much when I was in day care as a kid that now soapy cilantro is just fucking fine by me.

22. Hard shells with beef, soft shells with chicken.

25. Taco Tuesday. 🌮

Todays' will be ground turkey in slightly crisped up corn tortillias with pico de gallo, guac & sour cream.

I love Taco Tuesday

[ghostsinthemachine]

26. Hard shell. My favorites are very unique

I mix hamburger with hot sauce. Place on tortilla. Fry both together. Parmesan. Sharp cheddar. Lettuce, fresh tomatos and green onions.

[northoftheborder]

27. Corn tortillas fried until puffed up /// then filled in the center....

were the first tacos I ever ate. I wish I could make them; I've seen them demonstrated, but haven't been able to pull it off. No one does those at restaurants any more. They are delicious... crispy, but not crunchy if you know what I mean. Filling was simple, ground beef, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, salsa. Now I like them with avocados also, sour cream topping, some shredded cheese.

[dameatball]

28. I'll take a few of each please!

[underpants]

29. Hard shell. I like eating horizontally

[HeiressofBickworth]

32. My favorite taco

isn't found everywhere so I have to go to Capitol Hill in Seattle to get it. There is one place that makes yam tacos on soft corn tortillas. Three tacos served with rice and beans.

[Rhiannon12866]

33. I like the hard shells, too - though they can be messier to eat.

And I use a recipe I have for chicken-ranch tacos - and I add cheese, sliced black olives, scallions, tomatoes and shredded lettuce. I serve them with refried beans and rice.

34. #National Taco Day 🌮 a food 'holiday'

Per twitter. Not like I'll have an issue making tacos again. Todays will be shredded chicken in a 'Mexican style' tomato based sauce, topped with cheese, guac& soup cream.
