Who doesn’t love hard tacos? One bite and a small avalanche starts into your hand, just a warning on what’s to come. A few bites later and the whole shell cracks and you are in triage mode trying to finish your bite hunched over your plate while trying not to spill everything.... as random bits and all the hot sauce pools into your palm. Make sure it’s homemade though, otherwise it’s just not the same

Onion, tomato, cilantro and lime.
The building block for a good taco.

This is a trick question.
Tacos. Yes.

For land animals: white corn, pan fried to a nice light golden color in the cast iron pan. Still flexible and won't shatter. Dust with Cotija on both sides, fill, eat quickly while hot.
For seafood I use small flour tortillas to absorb the butter, sauce and creama. Seafood is too wet for corn tortillas imho.
That said, flour tortillas are inheriantly Mexican and good handmade ones are absolutely amazing. So fuck the haters, corn is no more or less authentic; it's akin to northern vs. southern Italian food. Specifically the flour tortilla comes from the Northern borderlands where wheat grows better than the corn in the south. NPR/Splendid table had this interview last year.
https://www.splendidtable.org/story/...stavo-arellanoI've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

I eat both hard and soft tacos, corn and flour. Most of the time when I make tacos at home, though, it’s ground beef and I use hard tacos, but I fill the shells with the meat and cheese and then put them in the oven for awhile. That softens up the shell some, Add a little green salsa, pico, and shredded lettuce, and maybe a little sour cream and I’m set.

Soft. I make my own, using a press. Homemade corn tortillas are way better than store-bought. I follow the recipe on the masa package, & add a little lime & chili powder to the mix. They don't keep well, so I only make as many as I am going to eat at one time, but I can whip them up in just a few minutes, start-to-finish. Yum!

I eat both corn and flour tortillas. Haven’t started making my own dough yet, but I buy uncooked tortillas in bulk from Costco and cook them up as needed. I can never go back to pre cooked ones from the store.

Gotta go with the soft corn. I house a couple dozen of these a week. Made a few miles from my house, and freakin' delicious.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

Whomever is dissing flour tortillas has not had a piping hot fresh one. They have their time and place. So do corn tortillas. These days I am on a diet and I use Romaine lettuce leaves.

In Vermont, All Souls make a legit, small batch, FRESH corn tortilla with heirloom, nixtamalized and regionally sourced corn. Masa is water, and corn cooked with wood ash or lye. Put whatever you want in it, but I ground and produced tortilla for them for a couple years, and there is nothing close to a fresh wrap of a good corn. They make a white, but the Wapsi is the shit. The magic only happens during production if the grind is perfect, and that starts with a good cook. As with any cooking of such a simple product, ingredients and technique make it or break it.
