Is There Anything You CAN’T Put In A Taco?

I’m going to leave you to Taco Tuesday on your own as we’re leaving for the dark side (Gretchen’s Miserable Michigan} tomorrow and what can I tell you? It’s a lot of work no matter how many times you do it.

So feel free to start your day in the pre-dawn hours with Ms. P’s Breakfast Tacos. I suppose there are worse ideas, although none come to mind immediately.

Improper social distancing down at the chicken food truck, without masks: looks pretty naughty.

I don’t know what’s in a breakfast taco but I’m guessing maybe chicken precursors? 

Perhaps with green chili and cheese…

or chorizo and potatoes.

I would have to be up a few hours before I could even considering such a thing, but do go ahead and begin to enjoy your Taco Tuesday at daybreak if you wish. We need all the fighting fuel we can get in these days of devolution.

The question should be “Is there anything you can’t put in a tortilla?” The answer to that is NO! PB&J? Check, Bologna? Check. Eggs, ham sausage, cheese, beans? Check. Anything that goes on bread and so much more. Truly a great invention.

Raised in the southern part of west Texas, I’ve eaten thousands of taco’s. First things first. If it’s in a flour tortilla it ain’t a taco, it’s a fajita or a burrito. You put beef in a taco.

I used to make soup burritos, using the really thick kinds of Campbell’s condensed soups such as split pea.

In South Texas,we call ‘em taquitos. My bride sautes cherry tomatoes and adds them to chorizo,potato,egg and cheese. It’s awesome munching along and BOOM!,a tomato explodes in your mouth.

I was stationed at Ft Bliss in the late 70s early 80s. As a naive kid I ate a taco at a flea market. I had no idea what hot was at that time. At least for that guy, a mild taco was 1 jalapeno, seeds and all. A medium was 2 and a hot was 3. At that time, I thought a pepperoncini pepper was hot. I remember providing several minutes of laughter to those around me.

Once I got used to the hot, I loved it. I used to visit the local burrito shops most weekends. I’ve never been able to find a place back home that was close to how good they were.

Octopus? Gummy bear? Eggplant? Moth Larvae?

As one with a culinary degree, I acquiesce to your idea that many things can be used in a taco. Many delicious things have been created through testing and experimentation throughout the years.

As for the above-mentioned ingredients, my only question is....WHY????

I’ve only been to Texas a few times for work and never got to really roam around. I agree 100%.

Tacos are holders for beef and some fixin’s

Grilled black-tailed jackrabbit in tomatillo sauce. Just don’t ask Elmer Fudd to shoot it. ..... Cause they took away his gun.

Is There Anything You CAN’T Put In A Taco?

Yes.

[GrannyAnn]

I'm from AZ. If it's a rolled deep fried flour tortilla, it's called a flauta. If it's a rolled corn tortilla, it's a taquito.
Fajitas are a pile of grilled whatever served with the tortilla (corn or flour) on the side.

A real taco is a corn tortilla filled with shredded beef then deep fried TOGETHER in lard. YUM YUM.

I’ve been all over west Texas, and New Mexico drilling wells for dang near 50 years. I’ve eaten in every little mom and pop Mexican food restaurant along the way. The little old Mexican ladies around here will lay out a spread you’ll remember forever.

Latin America has put bugs in them for decades at least 60 years
