Made some mom's tacos yesterday. 1 lb ground beef browned with a 1/4 onion and a couple of garlic cloves. Topped with sharp cheddar, tomato, onion, and Pace restaurant style. Old El Paso crunchy Taco shells.  Very good, this thread inspired me. Hadn't made mom's tacos since college

mrs mocat informed me we are having mom's tacos tonight (soft tortillas edition) 

[Gooch]

I think I am going to make "white people tacos" tonight!

[Tobias]

why do you hate mom?

[Gooch]

Mom never made tacos.

[star seed 7]

True story, I took over the taco making from mom when I was like 8. I was just like outta my way and that was the one meal I made the family growing up.

i like the pace restaurant style too, garden vegetable variety but you should try the frontera roasted habanero

do they not have la tiara shells in your region?  would be sad to hear 

[pissclams]

i went with an 80/20 blend on the ground beef

i also decided to up my mom's taco intake to 10 tacos instead of 9

Cat27 here posting live from Pepe's tacos, marina vallarta, P.V. Mexico.  Tacos al pastor is their specialty, BBQ pork with pineapple.  My fave is beef and spicy sausage (chorizo which I normally don't care for) I get it with cheese on flour tortillas.  They have 4 sauces, 2 green, 2 red, one of each is fire.  I've eaten a lot of tacos gents, and this place is STRONG!

P.S. they only accept cash money, so no credit card point scams OK....

PPS  don't get drunk and fall in the marina, there are salt water crocs in there.

[HerrSonntag]

I just wanted to mention, that i'm still super butthurt about sharing my rough ridin' awesome tacos and just getting pissed on by PC and seven

This was very good.   Used a 3# chuck roast.

My new thing: ditch the tortillas/shells, make some rice, put it and all of the taco stuff in a bowl. For whatever reason, I do this more often with with leftover meat. I use boil in bag rice because it is easy.

[The Big Train]

I made Carne Molida 'cos with onion and peas for dinner last night!  With all the fixins too

[slackcat]

Tacos for lunch.  Will be making my own tortillas and fresh salsa.
