Tacos!

[Montanalo]

I haven't a taco in years, and it's been decades since I've had a hard shell taco. I've been thinking about making some lately...but I must confess: I'm a simple taco eater. Just one of those taco kits you buy at the supermarket is fine with me.

Come in from the cold, my friend and enjoy a street taco from a real taco food truck. You can thank me later

radishes in tacos, in the picture, it looks like they are with shredded chicken

Has anyone had those?

Not my thing but several Mexican restaurants here bring radishes when they bring out your chips and salsa etc

I invented a dish awhile back combining the frito pie and Taco Bell crunch wrap. It’s basically a Mexican frito pie served in homemade flour tortillas.

Brown a pound of ground beef and mix it a basic taco seasoning(add extra cumin) packet. When done, drain the fat and add in a can of enchilada sauce and any taco sauce you want. Layer fritos in a casserole dish about 2 inches thick. Pour the beef mixture over then a can of Campbells cheddar cheese soup. Give it a good mix then layer with Mexican shredded cheese. Bake at 375 until golden brown then serve in a fresh tortilla, it’s amazing. You can even use chili cheese fritos but leave out the extra cumin.

It’s a hit now, many family members make it a couple times a month. Some add in sour cream and refried beans but I don’t stand for that!

I'm going to write this down, try it here in the next few weeks. Maybe substitute Rico's cheese for Campbell's though. Thanks

I like radishes as an appetizer, and I can see how they might be good on a taco, but the margin line would be small

Real tacos have a crispy home made corn shell. These are California tacos and a breakfast taco.

That's what I like. Soft shell with real food inside.

Love Frito Pie! And I know RT probably wasn't referring to fast food joints LOL, but speaking of Taco Bell, those crispy/flour combo tacos are great! Just something oddly satisfying about having both textures in your mouth at the same time.

Yes, I miss Texas and the delicious Tex-Mex food and having hole-in-wall or road side taco stands at every corner. Especially as you move more South.

Any and all Taco Talk is welcome. Taco Bell isn't bad, fast food tacos and they'll do in a pinch and those Gordita Crunches aren't half bad. They used to do .49 cent Crispy Taco Sundays back in the day, I wasn't above grabbing a bag full every now and again......lol

If i want fast food Tacos its Taco Casa for me. Taco Bell is nasty and has been horrible for quite a while, back in the 70s/80s they actually used to be very good.

I've had them before, they add a nice little crunch. I wouldn't go overboard with them, but have a nice texture for shredded chicken or seafood tacos

yeh with Taco Bell, I'm not accustomed to my Nacho Cheese having beans on it instead of beef meat
(if you're doing the Dollar Menu)

Yeah, Taco Bell never high on my list and for fast food tacos I would usually go to Taco Cabana. The last time I was at Taco Bell was during Lockdown, all the locals, Mom & Pops, Taco Trucks all shut down, desperate times man...... and they were there when we needed them most. lol

There you go, Tacos are too big to just one day every year, they need their own day every week!

Taco Bell has a rather pronounced... ummm..
effect on my digestive system.

I was kind of upset when I opened the box and realized they were soft tacos. I was really looking forward to the extra flavor of the hard shells.
