Looks a lot like a puffy shelled tostada we see here, but made with milk instead of water. Sounds/looks good to me

I've made my own.

But I must confess.

They came out lame.

The fixin's were killer.

But the puffy deflated.

Faster than a donut tire over a Texas DPS spike strip.

But these 'thangs happen.

Because I'm Hungarian.

Born in Texas.

Trying to cook like a Mexican.

Ive made puffy tacos in the past. My problem was too much puff and not enough room for fillings

Edmick · Apr 23, 2018

I'm fortunate to have some good hispanic friends that also happen to be amazing cooks too that taught me a lot. Prior to these friendships, it was quite obvious that anything I made was made by an irishman lol.

Nice. I do a lot of fusion. Is fusion even a style anymore? Thats the way it should be. Oyster sauce on corned beef nachos..? Why not! Food is an international language. I cook some weird shit in this house but it tastes good haha

Theres never enough room for the fillings.

Because we're human beings.

We like tacos.

Overfilled.

January 1978.

Jam's Drive Through.

Bensen Blvd.

Anchorage, AK.

Rick Berry and I.

In his '69 Camaro.

Stoned like Cheech.

We'd each get a Double Jam Cheese Burger.

Jam Fries.

And 2 bigass Jam Burritos.

Loaded with beef, cheese, beans, and stuff I can't remember and don't want to know about.

Bigger than a toddlers arm.

With Jam's Hot Sauce.

At 4:30am.

On a tuesday.

If you've ever heard of Navajo fry bread, it's a native american taco/tostada on fried bread, and I've been meaning to try it for a long time... but have never seen a joint/truck here.

Navajo tacos are a must-try if you are ever around Monument Valley or the Painted Desert. They are good, but I prefer regular corn or flour tortillas. I'm all about the fillings...

Nothing worse than a deflated puffy taco. Oh, what could have been.

texas blues · Apr 24, 2018

Que onda wey?

Chorizo cheese and eggs.

And that other stuff.

Hang on...a sec.

mrs. blues dog Trouble just bit me.

While sitting on my lap while posting.

Its obvious to me that she also loves tacos.

And also loves biting.

Me likey.

Mexican/TexMex breakfast food is great.

I make breakfast quesadillas at least a couple times a month.

The filling usually isn't much to look at, but they sure are tasty!

Edmick · Apr 25, 2018

I had some bomb texmex food when I was in Seguin, Texas (go figure). Little breakfast joints would serve amazing breakfast tacos for cheap. I could eat like 20 of them.

Today I went to Wally World.

I had to get some stuff for an upcoming fishing trip.

I always go by the hot sauce and Mexican aisles for any deals.

And the canned meat and fish aisle for 'thangs like sardines.

And then I saw these.

Spam tacos could be in my future.

And Musubi too!

I have two of them.

They are razor sharp.

And beautiful.

I can do any 'thang in the kitchen with them.

But.

The blade is rather short and needs getting used to.

Knife skills are required to use them.

And they are high maintenance.

I wash and dry them ASAP after use.

And give them a light coating of food grade mineral oil.

They never see a steel.

Strop only.

And wooden cutting boards.

Most folks would be better off with a 6 or 8 inch santoku or french knife.

Been wanting to upgrade to a nice set of Damascus. I have a bunch of knives but only use 3. Chefs, santoku and paring. All Zwilling J.A. Henckels pro. Great knives but Damascus is just so damn purty and I want..

I love mine.

And si senor.

No one needs a beautiful damascus steel knife.

And if I really believed that....

I would not be married to mrs. blues.

Skirt steak fajita tacos were eaten tonight. The skirt steak was marinaded in tequila, lime juice, veg. oil and spices. The refried beans are homemade with bacon, onion and serranos. Pan fried green and yellow pepper with onion. And I broiled two jalapeños, one big Serrano and one habanero.

Added pepper jack cheese and some HBD sauce, wrapped them in foil and baked until the cheese was melted.

Make your best taco.
