    Just wonder, why do you post all your food related things in chat instead of food and nutrition

    rightfully so

    edited to add: You simply might be eating the wrong tacos. Where do you live?
    When in the midwest, I can't find a decent taco.

    Had tacos this past Tuesday (coincidence it was on Tuesday) Just easy at home using stand-n'stuff shells, taco meat, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese and salsa. Re-fried beans on the side.

    We also make fish tacos and chicken tacos. We love tacos in my house, but strangely I hate Taco Bell. sigh

    I haven't found them yet. We have a lot of American food places here, where do you usually get them?

    I don't care for the Americanized tacos...I do like authentic Mexican tacos though.

    The pictures are pretty?? I live in the South but have traveled quite a bit from Florida to Alaska, Massachusetts to Juarez, Mexico and as far West as Flagstaff, Arizona.

    It's got something to do with the taste of something in it. Not sure what it is, I just don't like the flavour. Never have. It's odd bc I love actual chili.

    As far as the shell, it just doesn't apeal to me. Now give me cool ranch Doritos and I can eat the whole bag and then some.

    I'm pretty much forced twice a year to partake, the hubs bday and Father's day.

    I don't like sloppy joes either.

    I'm making tacos for dinner tonight, but I can't have any shells or tortillas. The irony of being the person that does all of the cooking in the house & not getting to enjoy the food you make, the way it should be, is just horrible. :'(

    Usually in a freezer in the back of the most run-down looking gas stations. Basically look for places you think you might get stabbed, and go in to get a choco taco.

    If I can go in there in my red pvc hotpants and a fishnet top I'm all for it.

    Why can't you have shells or tortillas?

    I'm on the keto diet. I limit my total carbs to 25 or less per day. There are some low carb tortillas out there but they taste like *kitten*. Any decent tasting tortilla would shoot my whole carb limit for the day with just two. I don't eat any bread either. I also try to space the small amount of carbs that I do eat out across the whole day. When I get close to my final goals, I will be able to switch to just a low carb lifestyle & I will enjoy those things sparingly then. Right now, I'm on a mission, so I don't sacrifice anything to my cravings.
