I do a taco bar like Dana Jean. Mine includes:

both soft yellow corn tortillas and fried yellow corn taco shells

shredded lettuce
diced tomatoes
grated Monterey Jack cheese
crumbled cotija cheese
ground chuck with taco seasoning
pickled mild banana pepper rings
finely-chopped yellow onion
sour cream
black olives
finely-chopped jalapeños
heated homemade refritos (chili powder, cumin, garlic, salt, and if there's any around, a little bacon drippings)
homemade California-Mex guacamole (avocado, grated onion, cumin, lime juice, salt, sour cream)
homemade salsa (tomatoes, cilantro, grated onion, salt)
Crystal hot sauce
Tabasco sauce

I leave the heat factor up to each individual. I love hot food but have to restrain myself, as hot food doesn't like me. Others I know love things NASA hot.

Hi!

Don't mind me. I'm having a foodgasm thank you very much.

BTW-I eat fire and LIKE it!

>hugs<

Peace.

We usually get the crunchy shells. Then I fry up ground beef or ground turkey and use the Ortega seasoning pack. Then I put out shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes and black olives and shredded carrots (yea, I'm odd) and cheese and sauce and stuff for people to put what they want on it. I don't like my lettuce getting warm and soggy, so I make a salad with it and the olives and cheese and taco sauce and carrots, with ranch dressing. Then on my taco shell I put the meat and cheese and sauce with the olives and carrots, and again with a little ranch. I'm the only one in the house who likes sour cream, which is why I don't buy it and we use the ranch instead. It might be weird, but to me it's freakin' delicious to the max and I'm drooling just thinking about having some! Need to go buy the stuff to make em, it's been too long! :dribble:

Please, make your tacos, eat them and come breath in my face. I'm hungry!

Peace.

Hi, Ma'am.

You make your own flour tortillas! :blues:

It took me awhile to learn how to roll and turn the testales . Ha!

Have mercy! There were many a times when I rolled some flour tortillas that were...shall we say...in odd shapes. My Daddy always said (In Spanish) it doesn't matter the shape, it's about the taste."

(I never was able to get the technique of hand making corn tortillas. But my Tias were awesome.)

What about carne guisada tacos?

Peace.

Mine are strangely shaped at times, but still tasty. I started making them when my oldest was a baby. Store bought ones are too likely to choke a little one, and we like tortillas :)

I've never heard of carne guisada tacos, but you can bet I'm looking them up!

If I don't do a taco bar, I make fish tacos with white corn tortillas, shredded Napa cabbage, grilled or sautéed mahi mahi, diced tomatoes, and my own version of Baja sauce.

That is so cool, Brewster!

Carne guisada. The magic is in the long time simmering the meat. The fresh ground pepper corns AND the green bell pepper. The sopa (gravy) ... will run down your chin and you won't care.

May I ask, please? How you came about to make flour tortillas from scratch and learn how to roll them out?

>>>I love you, love you, >>>>THIS<<<< much!

Tell me, please, your version of Baja sauce.

Have mercy. I'm over here munching on carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. Someone toss me a flour tortilla taco!

Ha! I'm freaking hungry for some *real* food as opposed to grass rabbit food. If you throw a munch on a taco or burger...come blow your breath in my face so I can *eat* vicariously.
Just how high do you insist on getting? I'll start getting ready. It won't take long.
