I really hate Taco Shells, I take my soft wheat tortillas and char it on the stove and make my tacos with them

 

[Meicyn]

Thread reminds me, need to pick up some dried poblano and pasilla peppers. My stomach demands another large batch of birria.

Soft shell tacos charred on the stove, chicken and chorizo sizzled in a potent spice mix.
Garnish: lime, jalapenos, coriander, lettuce, avacado, fresh onion and a bit of hot sauce.

I prefer a proper green sauce with my soft (Mexican) tacos.
Cholula is something I only ever use in brines.

It's actually genetic. Aldehyde, the chemical in coriander leaves or cilantro will taste heavily like soap to people with well....shit genetics. But it's not their fault. It truly does taste like arse to them.

can confirm. I love food and I don't think there's a single dish or even ingredient that I truly dislike.

But cilantro .. yup .. it's borderline inedible. Very chemical/soapy. The moment it touches my pallette, my brain starts firing warning signals. Like I'm eating something that I'm not supposed to. It's a bummer cause I really wonder what It tastes like to other people.

No. When you set up a poll to settle something, you accept the results. Now start eating real tacos.

You know parsley? I'd describe that as a very green, fresh taste that's kind of woodsy and foresty if that can conjure up an image. Cilantro is just as fresh and green but with more of citrus bite and kind of a light sweetness. Hope that helps.

I much prefer soft to be honest. They survive the delivery process.

 

[The Stig]

Soft. Always

 

[wondermega]

Hard for days. For DAYS.

Soft but the dual-layer soft-over-hard is OP. Get a crunchy layer with shrapnel containment and anti-crack protection.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Fark me, what savages do we have here !!

Your mother never loved you if you voted hard tacos. FFS

I was clowning back a few posts. I love both. I turn my QuesoBirria Tacos into "hard shells" while cooking them in the consommé fat that I skim from the top, after finishing off and leaving it in the fridge for 12+ hours. Then, the actual consommé is heated, served with fresh onion cilantro and sliced limes y limons. DIP, smash a lime in there with all that meaty, cheesey, spicy, smokey, earthy goodness. OH MY GAWD!

This man not only fucks, he knows his tacos, too!

I hate the standard taco hard taco shells as they are nearly worthless. But if I compare standard soft tortilla with taco tubs then it's more 50/50.

As a dirty swede, I love theese. So easy to eat, and has that lovely crunch I prefer.

 

[ebevan91]

Hard shells when I make the tacos but if I have leftovers I'll use soft shells.

 

[simpatico]

Yea the second set are bs...real hard tacos are fried soft tacos with single filling...crumbly cheese on top not your grated cheddar nonsense...your north of the border bastardizations are simply deformed Nachos filled with a whatever you fancy mixing

Real hard tacos

Sorry guy, but Tex Mex is superior to "authentic" Mexican food in every measurable way.

Ok I know you're trolling but what exactly makes it superior is it the grated yellow cheese, sour cream or diced tomatoes? Name me a Tex Mex dish better than Tacos Al Pastor, Birria or Cochinita Pibil

It's absolutely the cheese and sour cream.

Bro hook me up with a good birria recipe, I'm aiming to make another batch soon and I am east asia tan, not south of the border tan. I need the real shit, I have no idea if Allrecipes knows what they're doing.

I see motherfuckers left and right committing blasphemy in this thread. SMDH.

Sorry to disappoint. I'm not much of a cook luckily I live in one of the best food cities in the states which is Houston. I can find pretty much authentic anything here.

This one seems pretty good except authentic Birria is made with lamb https://www.isabeleats.com/authentic-birria/

Obviously soft shell.
However, growing up in the Midwest, this image summed up alot of American ideas of tacos growing up. Glad times are changing.

I cannot make fun of this. I respect the Mid-West for trying to hold it down, in their own way. Get it done.

We forgive you. To each their own taste buds. Speaking of which, you should ask them to apologise to you. You're missing out.

I still eat at the authentic places, but I do ask them to "Texify" my food with shredded cheese and sour cream. They oblige.

There is nothing texifying about sour cream...we use it in soups and tacos dorados, gorditas, tamales, pambazos, huaraches liberally.

Eating authentic Mexican food and adding yellow cheese doesn't make it Tex Mex. I'm still waiting for you to list your "superior" Tex Mex dishes

Imagine eating Tacos Al Pastor with grated sharp cheddar cheese

Hmmm....Tacos from El Vilsito in Mexico City. Real al pastor with Mexican cheese, and their chorizo volcano taco also with cheese....Hmmmmmmmmmmm

I agree.

This sounds worse than pineapple on pizza.

Oh man, I go extra sharp. Can't stand the bagged "mexican cheese". Gotta have that nice bite.

Take the ingredients of a taco supreme, but make them better. Let's go shredded beef, fried in the shell, spread open with some chihuaua cheese, nice homemade hot sauce, sour cream and pico. No lettuce though. Lettuce only belongs on salads. I'll also go for a quality steak quesadilla and/or fajitas.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Soft tacos, definitely. Especially those little soft tacos you get it authentic Mexican restaurants or El Pollo Loco.

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Soft shells keep the stuff in better, with hard shells you get a lot of spillage.

But I prefer the crunch and added flavor of a hard shell, to me it's worth it.
