Oh my.
Of course, being from Boston, the primitive has no idea, no idea at all, what a real taco is.
One has to live around Texans to know.

I found a way to make sure my tomatoes don't fall off my taco.
I guess you would have to like sour cream for this little trick, but..
I mix my lettuce and tomatoes with a small amount of sour cream and they stick to the shell.
HMMMMMM..... Delicious! and a lot less messy!
franksolich has a question.
Why only "a small amount" of sour cream?

1. Good idea & another tip for a better taco
I like sour cream or crema Mexicana on mine, too. And it is annoying to have to clean up all the lettuce and tomato bits that drop on the plate, so next taco, we'll try this.
Here's an interesting trick with tacos. It mixes "crunchy" with "smooth." Use two tacos: the soft taco on the outside, and a crunchy taco on the inside. Put the filling inside the crunchy taco.
We learned about it at a restaurant in our town where we went for fish tacos. At the restaurant, the soft taco had grill marks on it. It makes for a more substantial taco, one that is not breaking up and falling all over the place, plus the added dimension of "crunchy" and "soft."
Whoa. Wait. What?
There's such a thing as using dead fish to fill a taco?
:pisscontest:
I guess that's the "vomit" "smiley."

3. Mmmmm, I do this
A big soft taco shell folded over a small tostada shell (if I can find them) filled with taco stuff; 'mater, sour cream, lettuce, refried beans...then
Fried on a preheated heavy skillet till golden and toasty. It also works on grill. I cook mostly outside when a bazillion degrees outside.
It makes like a taco yumminess sandwich

4. At home we crunch our taco shells up into a bowl and put the the rest of the ingredients on top
Then eat it all with a spoon.
Figure it all goes the same place anyway.
And a beer on the side. Got to have a beer with tacos.
Don
It figures.

5. I cut my tomatoes into slices instead of diced
I put them on last, one on each side, not only don't they fall off but you can use them to hold everything in.

Tomatoes sliding off their taco is a big concern among DUmp chicks.
I think they use the sour cream to attract coach, after having checked out his photo on the internet.

That made me laugh :rotf: Properly prepared, fish and even shrimp tacos are excellent! I had never heard of such a thing until I was stationed in Southern California but now I have a couple favorite places that I go to just for their incredibly delicious fish tacos.

I haven't tried the standard Southern California cilantro-and-red-onion beef taco, but I like a particular brand of spicy ground chorizo with my shrimp and fish. Makes a great paella or soft taco.
-
FFS, yet again with making something simple so damn complicated. I use my finger to shove any stray tomato piece back down on my taco. If one is too ****ing refined to do that, employ a fork.
I can't begin to fanthom the total barren existence these dumbshits must lead, that questions such as this arise. :whatever:
Tell you what, beanboy, shove your tomato in Poor Stupid Beth's cornbread bowl.

I just pick them up with my fingers and shove them in my mouth. i also put salt and pepper and the left over tomatoes and eat them with a spoon.

I just love Bou and BEG.... :yahoo:

I use a fork, but the same idea.
No wonder the HCR bill was 2,000+ pages. :thatsright:
Damned DUmmies couldn't tie their own shoes in less than 1,000 pages. They could make watching a beautiful sunrise/sunset complicated.

Thank you for discovering something that anyone who ever went to Taco Bell already knew about. ::)

You really should get out more, coach. Fish tacos are actually pretty common down on the costal regions, particularly Baja.
And if you do get to Southern California, I highly suggest a trip to Rubio's or Wahoo's. Fish tacos, each done in a slightly different style (Rubio's is fried, Wahoo's more grilled) but both are excellent.
Yeah, I get the same reaction from people in New England..."Fish TACOS??? EWWWWW!!!!" yet they don't think twice about mixing lobster meat with mayonaise and stuffing it on a roll.

I believe that falls into the category of cyberbullying.
For ****'s face, Andrea, toombstone me!

Never once, not once in my whole existence did I suffer any angst due to renegade tomatoes. I guess I am just an unfeeling person.
Frank, this is the vomit smiley. :puke:
I like yours better.
-
Oh yeah, I was gonna say! That's a peeing smiley, not a vomiting one! :lmao:
I can't believe they have a thread talking about this. It's like opening a thread to discuss: How Do You Keep The Gravy Lake from Spilling?
-

franksolich, madam, very very very rarely deigns to use "smileys."
However, in this case it seemed appropriate.
Since the "smileys" are terra incognita to me, I looked over the whole array and selected the one that appeared to be the vomiting one, and considered it a bonus I got two, not one.

I blame the Booooooooooooosh!!!!! tomato slipping machine.
These have to be the most stupid and pathetic people on earth.

Uh.......... would it be gosh to let you three know I really like to watch????

You do realize that's un-American, right? I call it Tex-Mex. Wasn't no fish involved! Besides, when it comes to DUmmies, I'd stay away from anything that smelled like fish, if ya get my drift!

AL, where the hell have you been? I was beginning to get worried about you.
Good to see you again! :cheersmate:

Are any of these places near Pendleton? I'm going down there in August. My son is taking me to WWE Summer Slam for my birthday. Of course he's using his airline miles to fly me down and the WWE gives free tickets to all live events to military members but still I haven't been to a live event for a decade or so and I'll take any opportunity to see my baby boy!

Been Ranchin' and Farmin' Bubba.
This year has been a ****in' nightmare due to "glowball warmin'"! My ground water is within 3 feet of the surface! It's been a ****ed! Wettest year I can remember, and that was before they decided my cow's farts were warmin' the planet!
That, and everyone and their brother wants me to take their horse off their hands because they can't afford to feed 'em anymore! I've got a total of 18 now! Tends to keep a country boy busy!

I love Wahoo's, not enough to stay in this stupid state though.

He prolly does! Only problem is, for me, he'd prolly recommend 16 penny nails for the needles! I know that's what I would wish for him. Especially if it was about the head and shoulders!

Unfortunately my favorite spots are down in San Diego, but I know for a fact that there are several Rubios and Wahoos up in the Oceanside/Carlsbad & San Marcos area and they are pretty good. Sounds like you guys have a lot of fun planned, I hope you enjoy yourselves!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, nice to see I was missed! I'm sure the DUmmies didn't miss me at all! lol!
Doesn't make sense though. Isn't the sayin', "misery luvs company"? hehe! I ought to be a real popular ****er over there!

In other words, your mole went off like a flashbulb.
Must have been spectaculer.

Sounds like the guy that lives down the road from me. He's picked up 12 horses in the past year, and probably 20 since "teh Zero" was elected.
He's made 2-3 trips/year into Amish country with trailer loads of horses and goats to sell, and comes back with a load of pigs, which go to a local packing plant.

Now see, there you go starting a dilema with me. I hated So Cal, but loved San Diego, and it's actually much more conservative than LA.
Then you get into the places worth going around Point Loma and the Subase...
Casa de Loma
Santana's-Send the nub out on a run for the duty section. Carne asada burritos. Oh. My. GOD.
Adelberto's, Aiberto's, any-freakin-berto's. 100's of them, all good if you don't ask too many questions. Few things better than rolled tacos with cheese and guac at 3 am.
Miguel's. Best cerviche EVAR!
You get the idea.

I never worried about the tomato falling out of my taco. They always fall apart after 2 or 3 bites anyway. Maybe someone can invent edible duct tape to hold them together.
-
I have never understood why anyone would eat a crumbly taco, if anything else is available.
In fact, worldwide, most tacos are eaten by people who have no other choice.

I'm not crazy about taco shells, they are boring. We use flour tortillas with all the stuffing, so I guess we're eating burritos instead.. :-) and we aren't complaining about our tomatoes falling out of the taco shells either... :lmao:
