how do you cook and prepare your tacos?

[Anonymous No.4015035]

>>4015033
thats hot

[Anonymous No.4015062]

I usually use tortillas.

[Anonymous No.4015090]

Which kind?

Made some good breakfast tacos this morning with eggs, pintos, chiles, cheddar, and corn tortillas.

[Anonymous No.4015094]

>>4015032
Very carefully.

Nah, I don't usually make tacos that often, but if I do I like to use corn tortillas and top them with diced onion, cilantro, jalapeños and lime juice. As for meat I will grill it if it's chicken or steak, but I've also made some delicious carnitas in the slow cooker once or twice.

I try to keep the Q's and X's out but they always manage to find their way back in,

[Anonymous No.4015149]

the only tacos I bother make are fish tacos. Anything else I make with tortillas aren't fit to be called tacos, as I've learned from my mexican roommates.

[Anonymous No.4015156]

>>4015149
What do these so-called purist (lol) beaners deem to be tacos?

I'm pretty sure they're meant to be "throw whatever the fuck you have into a small tortilla and fold it."

[Anonymous No.4015161]

>>4015156
i dunno, they call what I make tostadas because i like my tortillas crunchy. and i put cheese, beans and the usual toppings on. maybe ground beef if i have it.

[Anonymous No.4015162]

Pan fry some beef
Heat up and smash some beans
Add 1 slice of avacado
Heat up some soft corn tortillas

And then for the spice I'll use either guacamole, some canned cactus, or some chili powder

Why are you so retarded?

[Anonymous No.4015188]

>>4015156
Actual real life beaners will eat anything folded between anything. To them a PB&J sandwich is just as good as a taco. The only people that get a hard-on and go autistic over "real" tacos are these half assed edgy try-hard white 20 somethings who are trying to make some sort of point about how worldly they are by rejecting the crunchy shells, lettuce and sour cream that they grew up on.

When I go to the taqueria its 75% white. When I go to Taco Bell its 75% mexican. Get a grip guys, just enjoy your food. Mexican-Americans love crunchy tacos, the only people making a deal out of it are the spoiled and insecure white kids who are trying to prove something to themselves and their friends.

[Anonymous No.4015625]

Hard shell tacos are one of the most retarded things in the world.

>lets make a food that crumbles and falls apart as soon as you take one bite and lets make it so all the ingredients are falling out constantly anyway

Yeah that was a good idea. Give me a soft shell or give me nothing.

[Anonymous No.4015632]

Some really soft and fluffy tortillas whose name escapes me, I use vegetarian protein crumbles instead of meat, and add some Oaxaca, sour cream, black beans and chopped leafy romaine, with some really hot sauce I get from my dad every time I drive down to visit him. I'll have to get the recipe one day. Best part about it? Zero grease.

[Anonymous No.4015638]

hard shell=tostada

[Anonymous No.4016016]

>Zero grease
Noooooo

[Anonymous No.4016076]

Cover cubed pork shoulder in water. Add salt, a little each of pepper, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, coriander, fresh or powdered jalapeño. A little orange or apple juice. Cook uncovered until water is gone. Remove a bit from pot, fry in a little bacon grease, serve in tortilla of your liking. Pairs well with salsa verde.

[Anonymous No.4016118]

With a sharp kick.

I never have problems with hard shells crumbling.

Everything sounds awesome, but "protein crumbles" sounds fucking disgusting

what this bro said. pan fryin the corn tortillas with just a bit of oil is good too. long as the corn tortillas get cooked in some other way than steaming, steaming makes em break apart when folded, the other two ways keep that from happening.

Saute onions, then remove from pan
Cook ground beef
Drain the fat
add spices (cumin, paprika, red pepper, chili powder, onion powder, garlic, etc)
add the sauteed onions back in along with one of those small cans of tomato sauce and some sliced up chipotle chiles along with some adobo sauce.

That's about it as far as the actual meat. Until I started cooking on my own, my mom would always do the usual thing and bring the pan to the table along with a stack of tortillas and topping and we'd built at the table. Nowadays I built them at the stove. I take the pan off the heat and replace it with a flat griddle. I lay the tortilla on it until after let it heat for a little bit. Then put some taco meat on one side. Add toppings too (I like avocado slices, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, and salsa). When the tortilla gets to a point where it's toughening up but still pliable, fold it over, press down, and let it cook for a little longer on either side so it's nice and toasted and firm.

I've always wanted to try tacos made with shredded beef, rather than ground

What this bro said, but you could buy the meat already seasoned and prepared and the mexican markets if you wanna eat it right away.

[Anonymous No.4016420]

>>4016416
currently in the UK, (nowhere near London) so I'll have to go down this way. It could really help me if someone can tell me where can I buy jalapeños.

[Anonymous No.4016438]

>>4016431
Everything is to taste as I don't use measures

Garlic salt
Pepper
Lemon
Maggi Juice
Worcestershire sauce
A squirt of beer. I use Victoria Beer (Vienna lager).

Side dish is either black beans (with epazote) or charro beans
