| I prefer a fried shell, but in Mexico they slap fresh tortillas right on a grill so you get a soft/hard thing going, that's the best |

Burritos.  For those not in the know, soft are traditional, hard are Tex-Mex. I sill like hard because my Mom made them as long as I can remember. But you can put anything in a soft - fish, carne asada, chicken. For hard shell it has to be ground meat.  Oh we need to have a new poll: Nachos or Cheese Dip? ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The shells are corn and flour based and then baked. It's usually spiced beef, cheese, and a variety of toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or sour cream. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

What? No ticky tacky taco takeouts? You must live in the third world or something. But come to think of it, if you actually did, you'd be more likely to have really good taco takeouts or street vendors. By the way, for those of you who don't like Taco Bell, you'll be pleased to hear that authentic taquerias are driving them out of business. I was flipping a coin between going to one of those and trying out a Cuban restaurant for lunch. I went for the Cuban sandwich with a side order of tostones.

Yeah, me as well! But noooooooooooo they just had to stomp on the fun with being all grammatical. Even Equality was willing to let it go. Now please people, we have important matters to discuss. Besides shells, the filling is also important. I like to keep it simple. The beef, cheese, lettuce, maybe tomato once in a while. Not a fan of sour cream. How were those 8 am tacos anyway? |

Home made, it's usually ground beef or turkey (I'll often use store bought seasoning packet, but made my own seasoning blend once and it was quite good), lettuce, cheese, s'cream, salsa or taco'sauce. By the way, sounds like some poeple have been getting reelly crappy hard tako shells. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Taco Bell doesn't sell tacos. A piracy of tacos, perhaps.
Nothing like street vendor tacos or tacos from Mexico (or both!
 )I prefer soft. Hard? Please...
As for toppings: some carne asada, al pastor meat, sliced onions, cilantro, salsa, the REAL spicy stuff (not your wimpy hot sauce from Taco Bell) with a side of beans and a nice Coke
 Tacos. Love them. -------------

Are we talking Poblanos here? Nothing in the chili family tastes quite like a Poblano. By the way at Taco Veloz you can get a chlli relleno taco. Soft tortilla of course. On a side note I found this on the Wiki: Crop defenseFarmers in Africa and on the Indian subcontinent have found the use of chilis effective in crop defense against elephants. The chilis are spread on fences and other structures to keep the elephants away. Because the elephants have a large and sensitive olfactory and nasal system the smell of the chilli causes them discomfort and deters them from feeding on the crops. This can lessen dangerous physical confrontation between people and elephants. |

In terms of "westernised" tacos - the kind that Old El Paso sells - I'm a fan of soft shell. Trying to get away from the store bought stuff though, these days. We might buy hard shells but we normally use tortillas for the soft shells, you can eat them as they are, or my mom used to put them in the oven with wet towels to steam them which is also great. For the spices, my wife uses a combination of cumin, garlic powder, soy sauce (for colour and a bit of salt), and some other stuff I don't even know, but it tastes way better than the store bought stuff. As for toppings, I'm a cheese, sour cream, tomato kind of guy myself. On soft shells I put in lettuce as well, but in hard shells there's just no space left. Oh, and it's important that when the meat is cooked (we try and use ground turkey since we're flavoring it anyways but sometimes our roommates complain that it has less flavor and we go back to beef) it has onion and maybe even garlic cooked with it. I've never made more "traditional" tacos - the kind you get when you go to a relatively more authentic mexican place that are wrapped in soft shells with sauce drizzled on top and come with refried beans and rice, that you're supposed to eat with a fork and knife. I must admit though, those are also delicious.

Gimme a good hard taco any day. Actually, I like the abomination that is the combo hard/soft shell. Take the soft tortilla and slather it with refried beans, then place the hard shell on top of that and fill it with the usual. Then fold the soft one around the hard one, and voila, the best of both worlds and the soft shell more or less contains the messiness of the hard. ------------- Can you tell me where we're headin'?

I can dig a lot of other meals from authentic Mexican places, but if the Taco Bell hard shell taco qualifies to be called a taco, then it is the best taco I have ever come across, authentic or not. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.
