Next time I cook this, I'll be sure to add pics. I could find a stock pic, but the admin didn't like it the last time I did that. So no pic at this time. :rolleyes:
 
I'm not the only one. You'd get boos from the crowd for a stock pic. :)

Why not corn tortillas? I guess you like the way flour ones separate and poof up.

Yes! I personally like corn ones a lot, but when I make this for others, they seem to like the flour ones. Probably familiarity or something.

Corn tortillas make the best tacos. Navajo flat bread are a close second.
 
Well there is your pics. Made this for lunch. I had about 7 pics, but you only allow 4. Hope it shows enough.

The rest of the six pack is in the fridge with the Guiness. I like my beer cold.

How about a point for attempting to show the THP site on the Blackberry?

To damn small to read it. But I tried.
 
Now if a fella was to make something like this at home would it be OK to add some shredded chicken and a wedge or two of cheese?
 
Of course! and I'd squeeze a lime over it too for that fresh, acidic balance.
 
I used to make it with ground beef. Seasoned with cumin,garlic, and plenty of dried chilis. This is just a different way to go. Always looking for a way to add more vegies to my diet.

Put anything on it that suits you. That is what cooking for ones self is all about.
