It doesn’t look all that appetizing to me. It might taste OK tho.
I used to really like Taco Bell tacos tho I don’t guess I have had one in 30 years or even longer. If they had left the sour cream off them it would have been much less tasty.
I thought this was going somewhere else. O well.

One ugly taco. Here is my recipe:
Take skirt steak and marinate in a combination of pressed garlic, soy sauce, and orange juice from a fresh orange, and a little lemon juice. Allow to marinate for an hour. Remove meat and toss marinade, then grill over mesquite until medium. Set aside and heat fresh corn tortillas over the same coals until warmed. Chop meat coarsely and place unto tortillas. Sprinkle meat with fresh lime juice, a little Kosher salt, and top with diced onions, diced tomatoes, minced cilantro and diced avocado. Top all that with a hot sauce of your choosing but I prefer homemade, which takes a while, so use whatever else you want. Divine

My late wife used to make great enchiladas. A few years ago I tried to make them myself but could not remember all the ingredients.
I phoned my Daughter to see if she had the recipe. She had it she thought but when she read the list of ingredients, I realized it was not the same.
I do remember my wife would make me grate the Monterrey Jack cheese. Also that you had to use a can of tomato soup, chopped black olives, chopped onions, corn and flour tortillas, some other cheese and a few other things, but just can’t remember what else.
Omaha Filet Mignon rare on a roll with American cheese. Cook after you use the extra Dry Ice to fill a few 2 liter Coke jugs and hang them from the Maple tree out back so nobody gets hurt.
All in a days meal.
We used to have a taco burger at the local drive-in. It was half a hamburger patty in a fried corn tortilla, it was great.
flour tortilla completely glazed with melted yellow cheese, which was then topped with a pan-fried clump of hamburger meat, a flurry of shredded lettuce, some more cheese, a slice of tomato and Thousand Island dressing
I have eaten here; I can attest to the quality of their food. If I remember correctly, they also have some very good craft beers. Add that to the fact it is only about two blocks from the Ducks pre-season practice rink and you can’t lose.
Cooking is mother-in-law’s greatest joy; she turns 90 in May.
When she is with any of her 6 children, now in 50s and 60s, she wants to be involved with food prep.

Pasta, sauce, and cookies for her son-in-lay, yours truly.
As a SoCal native, I narrowly prefer Mexican to Italian, but I don’t tell her that.

The joys of living in West Texas where there’s a good Mom and Pop Mexican food place in every town. No it ain’t fast but it’s better than any fast food joint. You won’t find any of those thin gummy tortillas but real home made and plenty of them.
NEVER in the history of fast food has that ever happened before!
Sounds awfully like a beef burrito to me, but the thousand island idea is awful. Californians think all Mexican food has to have a dollop or two of sour cream so I guess this is the new idea.
I can’t imagine the taste of hot sauce on Thousand Island without gagging so I’ll pass.
