slo’s Thursday poll - Beef vs. Chicken vs. Pork Tacos

[CynBeth]

Usually beef but once in a while chicken.

 

[Mysterian]

Chicken first, beef second.
Never tried fish tacos. What sort of fish is on there? Is it in an acceptable chopped form or some unpalatable paste?

 

[Minnesota!]

Pescatarian now, but when I wasn't, I preferred pork or beef carnitas type tacos. I have never really been a fan of ground beef (texture), and I have never liked chicken, at all..

I love shrimp tacos, or blackened white fish.

 

[Orion Nebula]

Needed an all of the above option... lol

I make tacos all of the time, usually street style on my outdoor griddle. I rarely use ground beef though. Pulled pork, steak and pulled chicken mostly.

So, I picked other b/c I'm all of the above, plus shrimp, fish, and black bean/veg tacos...

Now, if it's flour vs corn tortilla - I'm flour all the way...

It's normally in fried filet form, but it can also be in different non-fried forms (but it's not paste, it's more broken filet)...

It can also be shrimp, which is in its regular form...

No definitely not a paste. White fish like cod, haddock, tilapia.
I think the most common is baja style fish tacos- deep fried.
I prefer blackened when eating out, cooked in the air fryer at home. If the only choice is baja I will eat those over any of the choices in the OP. Unless there's shrimp then I'll get that.

Any of the 3 works for me, but NEVER ground meat. I like real tacos. Grilled chicken, carne asada, or carnitas ONLY.

The most common in the battered and fried fish taco is Wild Alaska Pollock. Mahi mahi and Sea Bass are also commonly used for grilled fish tacos. Fish tacos are ubiquitous in Southern CA and Mexico.

Beef!

Checking menus cod appears to be the fish of choice, deep fried pieces. Shrimp is big here too.

 

[Mysterian]

I will gladly sample some cod tacos!

It's actually very similar to English fish and chips, except you put the fried fish inside a soft corn tortilla with shredded cabbage and a white cream sauce, usually flavored with a bit of chipotle pepper.

I only make chicken tacos at home!

That’s like asking who is my favorite child. We have a steady variety happening in this house. Ground beef, ground turkey, shrimp, Carne Asada, Carnitas. Rarely chicken although we often make Chicken nachos.

I have this amazing Carnitas recipe and when I say that’s what we’re having my whole family lights up like I’m making Thanksgiving Dinner with all the fixings so I chose pork.

 

[NYCgrrl]

I like them all equally but if I had to choose just one form of protein it would be Sonora style shrimp.

Please share the recipe!

I have not tried turkey tacos, but I do know that leftover turkey enchiladas the day after Thanksgiving are a family tradition (and favorite) for us.

You paint a potent pescatarian picture!
