Tacos

Stewed some chicken breast and flank steak in medium-heat salsa

Put into steaming hot flour tortillas, combined with lettuce, avocado, red
onion, tomato, pan salsa, pepper jack cheese, then promptly gobbled all up.

When we make tacos, we slice onions, red peppers and tomatoes and then
broil them sorta like fajitas. Then layer meat and beans, then the
veggies, salsa, hot sauce, sour cream, cheese and top it all off with
shredded cabbage. We had that last night and I'm still full!!

Refried beans and sour cream only belong on nachos grandé or in/on burritos.

However, thanks to your sincerity, I will try to bring it up at the next rfc
cabal (TINC) meeting for their consideration.

You really want to rock the food world? OK. It may take some time! The rfc
cabal (TINC) will be in touch.

I made fish tacos tonight - cut up some kingfish - rolled in cornmeal
- fried up - placed in flour tortillas with a mix of red cabbage,
purple onion, cherry tomatoes, avocado. Sauce was a mix of sour
cream, lemon juice, cilantro and a bit of jalapeno. They don't hold
together too well tho, so next time, I'll just dump the fish and the
rest on a bed of butter lettuce and some tortilla chips.

By the way, can corn tortillas be frozen and thawed without
crumbling? I had to buy a 2 lb. pkg.

A taco or burrito is always better if it includes fresh avocado.

tweeny,

You made your own salsa? Wow! I take the cheap-o jar route.

Fish tacos are great! Heck actually anything you can shovel into a tortilla
is great! LOL!!!

But ya almost stumped the band with "By the way, can corn tortillas be
frozen"

Had me thinking! I've never seen corn tortillas in a can. A few re-reads
later I was back in peace and harmony. Whew!

You only need heat up as many tortillas as you can predict. They're pretty
disposable and cheap enough to not worry yourself over, imho.

Best,

Andy

Yo, hombré,

More a matter of if you like a soft or crispy taco shell.

Corn crisps up better.

Either type tortilla can get tastier if cooked just right.

It's more of a matter of terminology. If the widget is
made with a flour tortilla it doesn't seem like a taco.
It seems like a burrito, maybe one that hasn't been
folded up normally.

You're taking the simplicity and joy of a taco and injecting your weird
thoughts and semantics into it for the sake of argument!

WTF?

But the OP's tacos didn't sound like "crap." They sounded good. I
may dish out some insults and food snobbiness, but this one is OK in

To me, it's more about size. Traditionally, taco is usually one or
two soft corn torts with stuff on top, but a small, 6-8" flour tort
with stuff on top, folded over or not is tacoey enough.

I'm the only one here who calls them burritos. Everyone else calls

Refried beans and sour cream are OK - (except I use whole beans and
only use sour cream in my imagination) - but I *never* use shredded
cabbage. Tacos, fajitas, burritos are the few times I use head
lettuce.

So much of the stuff posted here I would characterize as "crap."

Sure. I used to be able to fresh local tortillas a dozen at a time.
Now my choices are something wrapped in plastic from a foctory in new
jersey, or learn to make them myself.

Thought I was lucky to find relatively fresh, relatively local
recently, but in a huge bag. Used what I needed, divided the rest
into sandwich sized bags and froze. Defrosted a couple so far, and,
still good.

Jill,

Oh C'MON woman! There is no line drawn in the sand for taco shells!!!

And a friendly CAUTION: Do not eat tacos for breakfast if you're name is
Jill and residing in South Carolina.

And watch out which heat of salsa to add. I start with hot and step down to
mild as the day progresses.

I remember a stand-up commedian doing a bit about Mexico being a
cuisine with only one good meal, served a dozen different ways - taco,
burrito, tostada, nachos, enchilada, flauta, etc. etc. The same basic
ingredients piled in different order.

Yes, just throw the whole pkg in the freezer. When ready just wiggle a

Yes, I often buy the sixty-stack of tortillas, and freeze some
fraction of them wax-paper-separated units of twelve tortillas each.
No problem.

Andy, Andy, Andy. Tacos are made with corn tortillas!
Burritos are made with flour tortillas. Don't know what
the heck you had but it wasn't tacos. :-) Are you sure
you're not from Pittsburgh? Apparently people in Pittsburgh
think you can make taquitos, tacos, and enchiladas with
flour tortillas. Gasp!

Oooh, oooh, oooh, me, me, me! I just posted a reply

have of Mexican food. Sigh!

Stole my line! I worked for a guy from England once. He said he was
going to throw some sausages on the barbie for the kids, along with the
hamburgers. I looked at the package, and of course they were hot dogs.
