slo’s FRIDAY 7/22 poll - Taco Shells

[Drewsdad]

I like both.. taco night at home is great.

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

I like both but at home it is most often soft flour tortillas. We always have those on hand for a variety of things. If I'm feeding a larger crowd I'll get some hard shells to have a variety.

Recently I was at a restaurant where their tacos were a hard shell inside a soft shell. Some had a layer of cheese or guacamole or other gooey substance between them. They were so good.

 

[bobbiwoz]

I really prefer taco salads.

 

[scbruno]

Both.

 

[CynBeth]

Both.

 

[tasha99]

Both with corn, and also soft with flour occasionally. I make my own, so we have corn more often because they're easier to make (no rolling out--the press makes it so simple).

 

[JBRB828]

Not into hard shells, I like the soft.

 

[1420Elexismc]

So we do a combo...melt cheese on a soft...while it's still warm, wrap it around the hard shell, and fill

[MamaMermaid]

I prefer soft but like both!

 

[Walt's Dream]

Both! I love tacos.
Hard tacos break, but then you get to finish with a taco salad!
Flour tortillas for soft.

 

[design_mom]

I like both, but either one needs to be toasted, not straight out of the package.

 

[Mysterian]

I'll take both.

Hard, soft, these things do not matter. All tacos are given safe refuge into my belly.

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

BOTH

I love flour tortillas heated on my cast iron pan. My daughter and husband prefer hard shell. I usually buy Blue corn shells for them.
When I make Chicken Enchiladas I use soft corn tortillas only.

Usually hard shell corn if I'm eating tacos or tostadas. Fajitas, burritos I like either corn or flour tortillas. At least once a week I make myself what I'm guessing most would call a fajita with chicken, onions and peppers, tomatoes, low fat Mexican blend cheese, avocado and salsa verde. Hubby will have either tacos or burritos on those nights made with beef. I really just take a low carb flour tortilla and load everything in and fold it in half. And it has to be salsa verde, I spent my teen years in New Mexico and its green all the way (if you know, you know).

I love tacos. I could have them breakfast, lunch, dinner plus a snack and still not be tired of them. LOL

I don't use pre-made shells. I fry my own tacos(corn tortillas with whatever filling I'm using) in a pan. They get crunchy but not hard. Serve them with all the fixins'...lol lettuce, tomatoes, onion cheese, etc. Unless we're having street taco style, then they are made with just warmed(soft) corn tortillas.

Soft tacos can be made with either corn or flour tortillas. My preference is corn. Flour tortillas are for burritos (to me).

My daughter will point out soft tacos are made with tortillas not “shells.” Only hard tacos are made with shells.

We had some friends over for street tacos one night and she kept asking about the "shells"...I was like...."the tortillas??"

 

[AppleDumpling]

I like both, but eat them only occasionally. Now on a low carb diet, I’ll do lettuce wraps as a healthier alternative.

 

[ktink]

Soft flour shells are my favorite. I've had to go gluten free for medical reasons. Let me tell you, you just don't know how much you appreciate something until you can't have it anymore. lol

 

[CGB]

ALL of it! When it is taco night, I put out soft tortillas, hard shells, tortilla chips, and sometimes tostados, taco meat and whatever toppings that's available. Everybody can make what they want and how they want.

 

[mumto3girls]

I prefer the flour ones I get from Costco. They are raw when you buy them and after they are cooked a little on each side they seriously elevate taco night. Otherwise mission low carb tortillas or occasionally hard shells.
