Homemade Tacos: Hard or Soft??

[riser4]

not the cooking part that’s for sure

That's hawt.

[dookeyXXX]

Carly and Sam seem to prefer hard tacos...



However, when hosting spaghetti taco night at my abode, I offer both hard and soft and corn and flour tortillas, not to mention the tortillas infused with sun-dried tomatoes, kale, and flax, because, well, California...

Kewl, never had bison tongue.

So a big pissed off beef.

I think Mt Everest should have a taco vending machine at the top.

For that celebratory taco at the top of the wurld selfie.ex

Here in Santa Fe, the best (soft corn) tacos, imo, are at the Taco Fundación on N Guadalupe.

That place can't possibly be any good - the owner is Brian Knox, not a Mexican

Seriously, please go there and get a goat taco. Take photos and tell us how the meat was seasoned. I have a cabra leg in the freezer that needs cooking. Yer invited to dinner

That is such a great book to help understand norteño culture. I read it when I first got to NM and I buy copies for legal immigrants all the time.

A lot of my people are climbing mountains now so I think good Dim sum would be the big hit

tacos de lengua de búfalo ahumado
And yes, I had to use flour tortillas for first go-round because by the time the tongue was smoked I realized the corn tortillas were dried out and stores w/in 20 miles were closed

Well done with what was on hand. Every once in a while you have to skip the corn tortillas!

Man, you sure know your way around here. Knox is getting to be something of a culinary fixture here. Currently he also has the Shake Foundation which is just as good as his taco joint. Great stuff there.

I’ll see if I can’t do that.

[JayPowHound]

What you made looks delicious.

But it is not a taco.

There is *nothing* wrong with that. At all.

Credit where credit is due:

I Ski Bandini Mountain said it early on: "A taco made with a flour tortilla is just an open face burrito."

He's right, and there's nothing wrong with an open face burrito.

Again, I argue that by definition burritos require beans. A soft flour tortilla "taco" (whether wrapped or folded) without beans will never be a "burrito."

No love for the puffy?

I was wondering whether to bring up the Indian/Navajo taco. Popular in the southwest, the ‘shell’ is frybread. Some of the purists here should confront the Indians selling these and straighten them out:

Geeze, go off line for a few hours and come back to a trainwreck of ignorance

SkiDog, I'm guessing you aren't a pendejo racist IRL, just ignorant about New Mexico. There's an incredibly rich culture there dating back 1000 years, and towns like Santa Fe & Taos were major trading centers while the Jamestown colony was hanging on to survival by a thread

Here's a book you may find interesting

Then take a trip to the Sangres to experience the place for yourself. Follow Meadow Skipper's advice - go to Petaca or Trujas, pick out someone with brown skin and ask to see their immigration papers. After they kick your ass and tell you their ancestors were deeded land by the King of Spain, explain to them why they couldn't possibly make a decent tortilla. Report back with photos & video.

I've been to New Mexico and I don't think I ever said anything about their heritage again I mistook "new" as meaning the new generation of actual mexicans was referring to themselves as Spanish. Just misunderstood totally. To be clear it's obvious not all Spanish speakers are mexicans. Y'all think my name's Donald? WTF?

Mmmmm, great minds think alike. Way back when I was stuck in Raton for a month I regularly gorged on these at some hole in the wall diner - owned by apaches IIRC. Fry bread, some crappy slow cooked cut of cow, smothered in green chiles with a little cotija sprinkled on top.

[Meadow Skipper]

^^^ Raton? That’s some tough duty. Glad there was food you liked.

Here’s some Taco Fundación porn. The goat is top left. Pretty simple, the meat is ground, slow cooked in red chile sauce, then put in the shell with some corn kernels and the cilantro sauce. The front staff wouldn’t give me details or let me talk to the kitchen. Very delicious.

No no no you misunderstood. Who's the chef....?

I guess I still misunderstand. B. Knox is the owner and also the chef:

looks ^^ like bannock, I duno if i would want all that stuff on my bannock

a local indigenous guy will make Bannock and bring it around the bar just before dinner time to sell so he can afford to buy beer

When I lived in Mexico, Birria tacos were a Sunday afternoon habit at a little place in Bucerias. Good Birria is food for the gods. More taco porn below - Carnitas tacos, Taqueria Vallarta, Santa Cruz. I miss that place too..

I greatly appreciate your sacrifice for our enlightenment
Will likely bust out the goat leg for tacos Saturday night. As I said, yer invited. Pm for directions.

Where's the curry?

I'm making tacos tonight. Simple, graceful, tacos. Hello, Tuesday.

I promise not to offend anyone.
