Why the fuck do these exist?
I am 30% sure the creation story went like this:
>Miguel goes to a seedy shithole of bar somewhere deep in the heart of Mehhiko
>It has a mud floor and there's a dog chained to a post in front that won't stop barking
>He orders a burriro
>Gonzales, the barkeep, apologizes profusely 'Sorry, pendejo but I am all out of tortillas!'
>'But aha! What if I put it inbetween some doritos instead? I know it will be as dry as your grandmother's cono and difficult to eat with it all crumbling, but I have no fork to give you.'
>And then Miguel went 'Gonzales, you son of a puta, I am going to make a million pesos!'
>And the stunned Gonzales replied 'Que?'

Please stop ordering them, so that they go away. Thanks.

If you've ever made tortillas it's easy to overcook them if you then create said taco with overcooked tortilla it hardens up, instead of having them harden up flat people thought hey why don't we have it harden up where it is easier to eat thus crunchy taco

So you think a taco is defined by having a hard shell.

I like both crunchy taco and proper taco. But then, I'm a culinary heathen who eats homemade Indian food with corn tortillas. Something about spice +soft corn tortilla that just works.

Only good hard taco, ironically, is the literal dorito taco from Taco Bell
Otherwise, traditional soft tacos are 200x better (meat, white onion, cilantro, etc)
I also want to fucking skin the people at chains like Chipotle and Qdoba for retarded shit like having pickled red onion, grilled onion, but no fucking raw white

Man I just like the texture. I also like those Mexican restaurants here in Colorado that deep fry the whole taco and everything melts together.
Hard tacos are just what I like and it's obviously what most people like because its what most people eat.
Soft tacos are fine, I'll eat them. Just not my favorite. Idk why brown people get so angry about region variations of foods.

IF the hard corn tortilla is from taco bell and is left sitting for half an hour so the beef juice soaks into it making it soft, that's when i'll eat a hard shell taco.
Any other taco or tortilla, like a chip used for nachos, frozen taquitos, fresh mehican corn tortillas just fried, to bags of takis, that corn tastes burnt and awful. Only taco bell doesn't have that burnt corn taste

the pre-made shells aren't that great, but not liking crispy fried tacos in general is retarded, and OP is retarded and gay. It's probably more common to find them rolled, but folded are just as good and I could probably eat ten in one sitting

Believe it or not, it is enturely possible to enjoy both hard and soft shell tacos. I love making both at home although I will admit to a slight bias to the crunch a hard shell taco provides.
As for how authentic any of it is? Jesus christ who cares. Food is meant to be enjoyed, and different people can enjoy different kinds of food without infringing on your ability to enjoy whatever you want to.

It doesn't do that. What kind of hard shells are you using? I only seen that with the cheap yellow corn shells from walmart. Get some of the higher end blue corn shells or better yet make your own.

>>19135904
When you cook a tortilla in oil, it turns crispy and delicious. You put stuff on that to make tostadas. Sometimes they fall apart and you have to sandwich the ingredients like a taco, which is part of the fun of eating them. Someone wondered what if they started like that? So a hard shell taco is basically a folded tostada.

>> No.19140673

Only here could you see someone so slovenly and retarded that they can't eat a fucking taco without dropping it all over themselves, and arrogant enough to call it a flaw of the thing they had total control over. Break off a bit of the shell and jab it in your eye you stupid fuck.
