    I prefer burritos, but I'm sure the same filling can be used for tacos. I like a smokey pulled pork or spicy grilled chicken, or else ground beef. The meat is either cooked with or mixed with tomatoes, peppers, garlic and onions, black beans and corn, and either jalapeno, serrano or pablano peppers that have been roasted, plus a squeeze of lime. I grate a little extra sharp cheddar, and I use Ken's Steak House vidalia onion dressing instead of sour cream.

    I love tacos... so much.

    I prefer flour tortillas or corn if I'm doing crunchy. Can't ever go wrong with a classic taco, but my heart loves shrimp and fish tacos...

    There was this little taco stand in Carlsbad, CA that made the BEST fish tacos...

    My fave are fish or shrimp tacos (whatever is fresh) tossed with some good seasoning and fresh lime juice. I like corn tortillas because they have good texture. I like to top mine with my fave slaw recipe:

    1 package coleslaw cabbage mix
    1 mango or 1 cup pineapple, diced
    1/4 cup pumpkin or sunflower seeds
    1/2 cup diced jicama
    1/2 cup diced red bell pepper

    dressing for slaw;
    in blender combine
    1 avocado
    2 tbsp. olive oil
    3 tbsp. lime juice
    1/2 tbsp. cumin
    1 tsp chili powder
    1 tbsp. honey
    blend, and pour over slaw. Top your corn tortilla with protein and slaw, hot sauce, YUM!!!

    Made shrimp tacos tonight. So good. Toss 1.5 lbs of shrimp in spice mix, and cook in a couple tbs of oil, 2 min on each side.

    Spice mix: 1 TBS paprika, 2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 3/4 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp ground red pepper (to taste), 1/2 tsp salt

    Put in a tortilla (I like flour) with sour cream, shredded cabbage (slaw mix), cilantro and squeeze of lime.

    Takes less than 10 min!

    These sound so good!! I will be making these in the near future. Thank you for sharing!!

    Tacos are my favorite!! YUM...I like veggie tacos once in a while. They are soo good and I don't miss the meat. My fave though are shredded beef tacos. Just though some type of beef in the crock pot.

    Any kind of beef that is good when shredded
    peppers
    onions
    chili powder
    cumin
    garlic powder
    onion powder
    can of tomato sauce (or salsa)
    salt & pepper
    a lil bit of water

    Cook until it shreds. Put on a toasted corn tortilla, add some spinach, hot sauce and queso fresco. So good!!!

    Edit: Sorry I do not measure my spices when I cook.

    Mmmm, my favorite is carnitas: put a pork loin (we usually divide one in thirds, so we get three meals out of it) in the crockpot with a little water or stock, and cover with your favorite spices. We use chipotle seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, red pepper, etc. We let it cook on low all day, and when you to go eat, you just shred it up, put it in the tortilla of your choice (we use good whole wheat low cal ones) and top with lettuce, salsa, sour cream, diced onion, avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Diabolically delicious! Last time we even added some black beans that we cooked from dry (the soak overnight method), and..... :love: Now I'm starving!!!!! I've seen some really great other ideas here too! Love me some tacos!!
