slo’s WEDNESDAY 10/4 poll - Taco Shell 🌮

[slo]

According to the morning news today is national taco day.
I’ve done a poll in the past about what type of meat, seafood or veggie you like in your tacos, but we’ve never discussed the shell in the past. So I ask…..

What type of taco shell do you like?
(multiple choice)



For Me…..I like both and I like hard a little more than soft flour. Truth be told - I love tostadas more than tacos and normally have those both in restaurants and at home. But, for todays poll, I vote that I like both. It depends on where I’m at and what type of tacos I’m getting that determine the shell. Beef will always be in a hard shell, chicken can go either way and shrimp or fish will always be soft flour. I’m a very high maintenance taco eater

I love tostadas the best but when making tacos I like hard or soft shells.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I keep a good supply of low carb soft shells around. I like to make wraps pretty much every day.

As far as actual use of taco shells for tacos, you just cannot beat the good old crispy hardshell ones though.

Another tostada lover - great minds think alike

I prefer the low carb soft tortillas and almost always have some on hand. I like the crispy hard shell taco shells, but do not like how messy they are to eat.

Same at our house.
I make DH a wrap every day with the super low carb wheat or flour soft shell.
I make myself a wrap a lot too - the soft flour about 5 days a week.

I like soft - But often just have it on Doritos !!

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

I like soft flour and hard pretty equally, but I probably have soft ones more often. I've had tacos that have both hard shell (for the inner) and soft shell for the outer layer. In between the two was a layer of melty cheese or guacamole or something else to help hold them together. Yum!

I like hard shell corn tacos which are lightly toasted in the oven. But I most often eat soft corn tortillas since that is easier to prepare.

 

[kanerf]

Never heard of a low carb taco shell. What are they made from?

 

[Schneewittchen37]

Team corn hard shell, especially when eating out. But I will buy soft flour tortillas for making tacos at home frequently because DH and DS13 like them more. DD11 seems ambivalent. Oh, how I suffer for my men.

 

[Meriweather]

I use low carb flour tortillas. I make wraps with them, use them for "buns" for burgers or hot dogs.
Not usually for tacos.....that is usually a taco salad. But if we are out I will get the salad in a shell and only eat a little of the shell.

You can find low carb tortillas. Generally it'll be a mix of fibers and proteins/protein isolates, sometimes flax.

If from a Mexican restaurant, soft shell corn. Taco Bell, hard shell. At home, mostly hard shell. At home for wrap, low carb, soft wheat.

Tacos aren’t one of my favorite things so I don’t make it often. We did actually have them last night. I bought the box that had hard shells only. We all like them the best although my family would eat either. I only eat the hard shells.

 

[luvnwdwgal]

I only like the hard shell for actual tacos but I also like the soft flour shell for wraps with turkey, lettuce, tomato and cheese.

 

[MIGrandma]

Hard shell for me.

 

[fly girl]

I like both hard and soft shell. Cannot pick a clear winner because it depends on the day which one I like more!

 

[ronandannette]

I voted Other because of the way you worded the choices. I don't really enjoy tacos, or Mexican food of any sort, but when they are on offer without any other choices, I go with a soft flour shell.
