Does sandwich bread = poofy tortilla cut in half?
Ergo taco?
This is an oft debated topic. In my opinion, sandwiches (while a form of taco) are worthy of their own designation.
What say you, Taco People? Sandwich = ?
Really, it is a double standard. Sandwich ≠ Taco, but Taco = Sandwich. Now, I'm firmly on the side of sandwiches are not at all tacos. The reason being is that a taco shell or tortilla is a self contained filling receptacle. You don't make a loaf of taco shells, that would be ridiculous. This is not to take away from sandwiches, as sandwiches are the shizz. You may ask, "what about rolls such as Dutch Crunch, Soft, Sweet, Italian, Sourdough, Ciabatta and the like!?" Well, while you may think these would fit the descriptor of "self contained filling receptacle," you'd be wrong. You still need to slice these before they may accept fillings. As compelling as all this may be, there is still more evidence to damn the catagorization of sandwiches as tacos. Principal being:
taco shells/tortillas do not need yeast.
Sandwich bread must contain yeast for it to rise and become the fluffy wonderful bread that we all know and love.
I hope this clears things up.
Oh yeah, well if a sandwich is not a taco because bread is not a--and I quote--"self contained filling receptacle," then what is this? Huh? Huh?:
That, sir, is an abomination.
Them sound like some Grizzly tacos, bro!The last tacos I made were from a smoked bear sirloin roast, man were they good. After going through this thread, like many people, I will be making tacos tonight. Weather is crap and don't have time for the smoker, so I'll probably just use ground bear with seasoning, white corn tortillas, with diced peppers & onions. Quick, simple and easy.
Taco Tuesday is here! Anyone having tacos? Having myself so turkey tacos when I get home from work.
Carne asada marinated in my torpedo clone (also pictured) amongst other spices on homemade corn tortillas (not those goofy taco Bell crunchy "tortillas" a lot of you use ). Great taco Tuesday!!
Those look delicious!
I'll take my mediocre over no any day though. Now I have inadequacy.
Had 4 for dinner. Used 3 different hot sauces, one mild, one spicy and one smokey. All in corn tortilla. Man I love
Carne tacos with Pico for dinner tonight
Speaking of hot sauce... Newly acquired (since we finished our old one). So tasty
It should, along with some Avery Island salt those are the only two ingredients in Tabasco.I just hate Tabasco, tastes like vinegar and pepper
My go to is Tapatio or Valintinas. I just hate Tabasco, tastes like vinegar and pepper, gross.
