I do good steaks and bbq. For tacos I just load up and see the experts at Carniceria San Luis. 4 tacos for $5.40. 2 for 5 tall boys at the gas station next door.

Chopped it up and tossed with a sprinkle of cumin, some white balsamic, coarse sea salt, and rice wine vinegar. Scrunched it all up on one side of a bowl and let the liquid drain. It's just what I had in the fridge and wanted some vinegary crisp to compliment the heavy pork. Should have added some black sesame seeds, but forgot.

That's probably a debate for another day... but this place was fucking legit: https://goo.gl/maps/AxvgnpzLoy4RxKj8A
Maybe more San Diego style...but still delicious. Otherwise I am a TWO corn tortilla purist.

I think the only requirement for something to be a taco is that the serving vessel be a small tortilla.
Beyond that, I really can't think of anything else that defines it.

But hard shell tacos are fried. Have you ever heard of the shellminator?

You guys all know the secret to corn tortillas, right? Get a cast iron pan or griddle super hot, dip the tortillas individually in water, and throw them on the pan/griddle until they get little brown spots, then flip for 30 sec and put in a covered container until ready to eat them. This way they both steam (to soften) and blacken a little (for toasty flavor). They won't fall apart if you do this either.
I always thought I didn't like corn tortillas, until I learned this approach. Now it's the only taco covering for me.Outlive the bastards - Ed Abbey

A tortilla (/tɔːrˈtiːə/, Spanish: [toɾˈtiʎa]) is a type of thin, unleavened flatbread, typically made from corn or wheat. In Spanish, "tortilla" means "small torta", or "small cake". It was first made by the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica before European contact. The Aztecs and other Nahuatl speakers call tortillas tlaxcalli ([t͡ɬaʃˈkalli]).[1]

I am not reading fucking 9 pages on taco shells. Good lord.
Also, hard shells always. Soft shells suck.
