Tortillas and Tacos

So, I'm curious. We talked about pizza, why not tacos? :D (making them for dinner tomorrow). :P

For those who eat / like them (you don't have to answer this, Jenny. ;) ) which do you prefer?


Me? If I eat out it's soft/flour kind, cause most places don't make them like I do at home. :D

I use corn tortillas, deep fried in pan of oil on the stove, about 20 seconds flat, fold over, and turn for another 20 seconds. Hot, chewy, and yummy!! :D

Oh, and before the thread wanders.... ;) Mine is hamburger that *I* add the spices too (not a package mix), cheese, lettuce, taco sauce, tomatoes, olives, and sour cream.

I like soft tacos, and toss them on a hot pan for about 30 seconds before serving.
Inside, I either cut up a steak, chicken or ground beef, add cumin, chili powder and a few other spices, lettuce, tomato, onion, a good salsa, cheese and sour cream.
It's on the menu for this week :D

I prefer soft. Never tried your deep fried corn version, Penny. Sounds yummy!

Soft flour......my Mom worked for McCormick-Schilling, so I grew up using the packaged spices......so that's what I like!

I never could find a hard taco while down in Tulum, Mexico, must be an American thing? I prefer soft tacos.

I never had a taco (or any other Mexican food) until after I left home.

I said other as well - it all depends on the meat and where I get them from. If it's at a taqueria it's gotta be soft!!

Typically I'm a soft taco guy, but occasionally go for the hard tacos.

Had to go with corn, deep fried - because of nostalgia (not because it is really my fave). When I was growing up - Friday was "Taco Night" with deep fried corn shells - sigh - what a great memory - since there is lots of chopping and it takes time to cook up one corn shell at a time - these were always long, relaxing, fun meals and me and sis would trade off each week who would ask to be excused to watch TV ....Great memories!!! :D :D
