The Great HBT Taco Thread

[HoppyDaze]

careful where you get your tilapia gentlemen. The farms in the third world countries are cesspools of disease and bacteria.

 

[hunter_le five]

yum

Meh. The stuff we use is from a reputable distributor and certfied by three different trade organizations. I'll take my chances.

Nice. I've had a hard time procuring healthy Tilapia. Although, I've discovered that I can just go to the beach and slam rockfish and lingcod for reasonable price per pound. Plus it's fun as hell.

I was only talking about the crappy farms in Thailand or wherever that feed them soy pellets and GMO corn.

Turkey tacos with extra GMO corn tortillas for dinner tonight. Might have to run to the grocery store for more Tapatio.

Yeah the Tapatio might help mask the turkey.

Did Yooper forget that this whole thread is off topic nonsense?

I really like ground turkey tacos. We switched to almost all ground turkey and very little ground beef about a year ago. Yummy

Probably to busy swinging the ban hammer to notice. For breakfast I was forced to throw away a taco! Oh the shame!! How you can mess up combining bacon, cheese, and eggs is beyond me. I would have been better off using the tin foil it was wrapped in than the sorry excuse for a tortilla

It appears breakfast tacos are only a thing in TX. WTF?? Colorado has some excellent breakfast burritos, but sometimes you just need a taco or four.

Rick Bayless "Frontera" sauce packets are awesome, especially for the less-than-street-food tacos.

Made a "taco salad" for dinner tonight with one (ie ground beef with said sauce pack, the "texas taco skillet" one, plus various veggies).

Which one did you have? I had one that was meh, but I don't remember which flavor.

This one tonight. But we've used several and they've all been good.

Of course, we normally go with cilantro and lime juice and that's about it, or my wife will make something herself, but in this application the premixed packet worked wonders.

Thanks. We'll pick that one up and try it.

Hmm that's interesting. I always assumed breakfast tacos existed everywhere south of the mason Dixon line and from the red wood forest to the gulf shores. Good to know.

My favorite breakfast spot here (shoutout to pipes cafe) makes some crazy good breakfast tacos. Bacon and eggs in a corn tortilla?? All day!!!!

I woke up in a pretty foul mood this morning, but this bit gave me hope for the future.

Growing up in East TX, breakfast tacos could be found if you looked hard enough, but weren't exactly common. Then I moved the central TX, and it seems like damn near every restaurant sells them. Even non-mexican food places, like BBQ joints and diners. If you're open for breakfast around here, you sell tacos.

Yep TX is a great place to be for all that is taco. Grew up in south tx then move to SE tx. Very rare to encounter a bad taco. In fact enjoyed two bacon,bean,papas,and cheese on homemade tortillas tacos this morning that came from a gas station restaurant.

Best breakfast tacos? Go!

I'm partial to migas myself. Chorizo, huevos, y frijoles is pretty great too. The wife likes bacon, scrambled egg, and cheese, because gringa.

Edit: ooohh and huevos rancheros

I love carnitas! I have a seemingless endless supply of pork, and the one cool day in South Texas this February I slow cooked the pork and made about 50 corn tortillas (only corn- not flour tortillas, EVER! )

I like al pastor all the time, breakfast or no breakfast. It's the fruity combination of flavors that make it work. I'm not an eggs fan, so that is probably a huge part of it!

gas station restaurant.

This is where the best mexican food comes from :rockin:

I'm making smothered taco roll-ups for dinner tonight.

Personal favorite - Nopalitos y heuvos or papas con huevos. SWMBO loves chicharones y huevo.

If you're goona use flour tortillas again...let's not use the word enchiladas

No no... totally stocked on corns.

OK I'm soft corn minimalist street taco snob. Can't stand those pre cooked crunchy shells in the grocery store. Believe flour tortilla makes it a fajita not a taco. Don't agree burrito = taco. No such thing as smothered taco - that is an enchilada fools.

But there is this one guilty pleasure that throws all that snobbery out the window. I loved these for at least 40 years:

shameful I know but there it is.
