“Bastard Tacos” would probably be a great name for a food truck. ---

For a couple of weeks after Thanksgiving, my family would eat turkey tacos and turkey burritos. ---

My carb bomb of choice is mac-n-cheese (with some hot sauce) wrapped up in a tortilla. ---

I wouldn’t say with NO pretense to being Tex-Mex, but it’s not uncommon at our house for any sort of roasted, grilled or smoked meat to go into a tortilla along with some combination of chopped onions and cilantro, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Barbecue is surprisingly awesome with this treatment; it’s almost worth smoking a brisket for the tacos alone. The same goes for roast chicken(if I can prevent my wife from making soup out of it), post-Xmas/Thanksgiving turkey, leftover steak, roast pork, etc… ---

A little off-topic, but was anybody else thrown off a little by the Title Case in the thread title? My brain kept trying to read various parts of it as a proper noun/brand name. 🙂 ---

Cook up some good-quality big fish sticks (yes, I’m talking breaded). Toss 'em in a bowl. Glop in tartar sauce and add pepper and Old Bay to taste. Stir until creamy (I am _not_ kidding). Spoon into warm tortillas. Fish tacos - _my_ fish tacos. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-anyone-else-eat-bastard-tacos/745283.md?page=1)
