This question for me is like asking someone from the USA what kind of sandwich they prefer. Today we will be having chicharròn en salsa verde along with several other dishes and accompanied by stacks of fresh tortillas. Some of us will make our own tacos and others will just roll the tortilla and eat it separately.
Hard corn. Does anyone else find that flour tortillas have a strange after taste? It doesn’t matter what brand, they all leave a oddly unpleasant taste in my mouth.
Ham and swiss on wheat.
I don’t like the taste of corn tacos. Don’t know why. I just don’t.
Hard corn tacos tend to break in half at the base. All the stuffin’s end up in your lap.
So for me, it’s flour tacos. **NOT **fried. (Fried?!? Who does that?)
Usually it’s just the regular size tortillas. If we want to get adventurous, as in different meats, extra new stuffin’s or whatever, we usually shift over to the honkin’ size tortillas for sheer volume. But these are made thicker just for that reason.
And if you must use any sort of sauce, let’s take it easy, okay? I don’t want my taco leaking like a 1974 Toyota.
They all have their place in my heart, but these days I am only allowed flax tortillas.
My Mig makes homemade white flour tortillas I have a hard time resisting despite prefering the soft corn. Hard shells are for Taco Bell cravings unless they’re flattened for black bean tostadas.
Soft corn tortilla (or 2)
Chicken fajitas
Cilantro
Onions (raw, grilled is just wrong)
Salsa (the hotter the better)

Hard corn shell with ground beef. lettuce, tomato, cheese, salsa, and guacamole. Pretty much the only way I’ve ever eaten tacos. Soft tacos just feel… wrong to me. I don’t even know why. I could probably put the same stuff into one and it’d still be weird.
Hard or soft shell:
Ground beef (or skirt or chicken) mixture: spices, onion, peppers, sauteed then simmered
grated cheese
chopped cilantro
red or green salsa
avocado slices
sour cream
Also like them with grilled/fried halibut pieces and corn salsa with a dollop of sour cream/chipotle.
Soft corn tortilla, with grilled chicken, onion, cilantro, and tomatillo salsa. Squeeze the lime wedge over the top, and you’re ready to eat!
Take the typical hard taco shell, fill with spiced meat, top with cheese, and then put them back into the oven until the cheese melts.
They don’t fall apart like a brittle taco but still have crunch and the bottom is moist enough to hold things together.
Add leatuce, sour cream, etc, after they come out of the oven.
