Tacos.
How do you do 'em? Beef, chicken, pork, fish? How do you season the protein? What kind of toppings? Crunchy or soft shells? Is there a difference between a soft taco and a small burrito?

I typically do beef or pork. I'm fortunate enough to have a Latino grocer by me that sells beef, usually a sandwich cut, sliced thin specifically for tacos or tortas. If I'm splurging, I go skirt steak. Both are real easy to marinate or season.
As far as toppings, I'm a fan of lime, shredded cabbage, pickled red onion, and it's not a taco if its not dressed with cilantro |

Oh, and nothing wrong with flour tortillas, it's a northern Mexico thing. What I like about taco stands up here, is that they've mastered the one ply corn tortilla. Sometimes the double ply corn tortillas get a little dry, imo.

Now you're talking. Got a little stand here at the beach that serves shrimp tacos with the double corn tortillas. Warm. Good.

The wife really likes these seasoning sauces for ground beeff:
I find them very, very salty. So I've been playing with seasoning blends, sort of like making my own packet mix. I started with this one, but have made some tweaks: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/46653/taco-seasoning-i/ I cut the salt in half. It's a lot easier to add salt than take it out. This last time I swapped the paprika with smoked paprika, and I think next time I'm going to swap the red chile flakes with chipotle chile flakes. I may try it sometime with this sample bag I got from the spice place of roasted granulated garlic instead of the regular. I also added some flour as a thickener, since it's pretty soupy without. Add some whole toasted cumin (before you grind it) and homemade chili powder, and it's a bangin' mix. To me, tacos are crunchy. Soft tacos are small burritos. |

2. Probably rather have a burrito anyway. Not that I don't like a good crunchy taco.
