Make your best taco.

And it doesn't have to be mexican.
 
I put ever dang 'thang on a flour or corn tortilla.
 
Thats a taco.
 
Make a bigger taco.
 
Thats a burrito.
 
Its all good.
 
Ever had a brisket and egg breakfast taco?
 
How about a sun dried tomato, goat cheese, roasted garlic, pequin, and refried bean taco?
 
The rules are this.
 
Keep it flour or corn.
 
Home made or store bought.
 
If you post a pita taco I will like you but then unlike you.
 
And then probably still like you again if it looks really good.
 
Get crazy.
 
 
Lime cilantro chicken thighs with pequin powder.
 
I love pequins.
 
Flat topped.
 
Like a naval aircraft carrier.

And even more lime and cilantro.
 
In pintos and rice.

Roll it all up with some cheese and rock it!
 
The pics do no justice.

Those damn paper plates.
 
Give it to me!
 
So the wife was craving Taco Bell crispy tacos and I was craving their mexican pizza. Instead of actually eating at a one, I made them at home.

I've been wanting tacos since I watched the video I posted and asked TB to find a recipe of those taquitos but he ignored me and I'm fine with that since I'm guessing it's Birria. I watched a few vids, checked some recipes and decided to do my own thing using a few methods from some recipes I liked.
 
I dug through the freezer and found some leftover mole and pork chunks I need to cook so I went shopping for the other ingredients and the meat is marinating as I type. I'm making regular tacos too for the fam in case they don't like the Birria.
 
round 1

That date should be 5-12, it must've been late when I put that up.



 
The Count you need cold sour cream straight from the fridge for that authentic homemade taco taste!!! But otherwise looks great!!!!!

Sorry 'bout that.
 
I'm just TB.
 
And do TB sheeit sometimes.
 
 
Wait.
 
 
Time for some TB sheeit.
 
Whereda' dang tacos at?
 
I'm still making sides, the meat is cooking and I'm gonna start more stuff soon.
 
This salsa verde came out awesome packed with flavor. Not bad for a Cajun if I say so myself.
 
I roasted the tomatillos, garlic, hatch peppers and onions
 


I cleaned out the pepper seeds and then it was all the kids in the pool with salt, black pepper, about 5 sprigs of cilantro stems and all, 1/2 cup of water and some chicken bouillon powder for a little flavor.

 
I simmered it for 15 minutes to thicken it up a little and the video I watched said all Mexican Moms do that to make it last longer in the fridge. I don't know about that but the Hatch peppers go fantastic in this sauce!!!! I could kill a bag of chips with this stuff.

Dundee MI.
 
1969.
 
Pop was in the nam.
 
I was in 6th grade.
 
Grandma had a barn.
 
With a hayloft.
 
My 2 younger brothers liked to play with matches.
 
It was a great camp fire!
 
Praise God no one got hurt.
 
I took the heat.
 
Because I was there and let it happen.
 
Me soooo stupid.
 
I was raised a die hard catholic.
 
My dear sweet ma' made me get with the local priest.
 
To determine wether or not I was of satan.
 
And if I should be strangled in my sleep.
 
He was an old dude.
 
Chain smoked cigarettes.
 
And drank real booze.
 
But forget all that.
 
He was a good man.
 
My punishment was to be altar boy.
 
No homo.
 
3 days a week.
 
For 6am mass.
 
Before school.
 
I wore the monkey suit.
 
Knelt down.
 
And rang the bells.
 
Which I was damn good at!!!
 
I especially rocked it on sunday.
 
When my dear sweet mother and grandmother were all up in that bitch.
 
For 3 months!!!
 
Anywhoooo...
 
Not long afterward...
 
I got a heart phone call from the real Jesus.
 
He let me know how much I screwed up.
 
And then he said...
 
"I got you bro'!"
 
"And call me Chuey."
 
Since that time.
 
He's schooled me on how to make tacos.
 
And other 'thangs.
 
THP et. al. like to be liking flat tacos.
 
So today was flat taco day.

Hey, it took 4 years for my husband to stop putting his dirty dishes on the counter above the dishwasher and start putting them IN the dishwasher. That's what I get for marrying a man who lived at home until he was 26.
 
I moved out at 17.
 
Because of doing dishes.
 
I have two brothers and two sisters.
 
Why did it always have to be my turn?
 
Saying that.
 
My mother and father are the bestest people I have ever known.
 
I'm finally done and I thought I started early enough to have everything ready at 6E. I had to get the "Tacobell" tacos done first so they could eat while I played some more.
 
I finished off the toppings, didn't even have time to make the rice or warm up the beans, 
 
I made a pico with roasted Hatch pepper that came out good, pickled onions and all the normal stuff.

I ate tacos and a tostado while on break before I started again.

After a cigarette and a drink I got back to it.
I made some taquitos with the oil from the Birria then started making quesadillas, by the time I was done they ate all my taquitos so I had to make more.
100_2779.JPG

 
The Birria came out awesome, it tasted so good that I didn't even add the mole I saved. This is soup for a cold day that soothes the soul.
100_2776.JPG

 
After all that I just pigged out like I'm at a buffet!!
100_2780.JPG

I made the taquitos with the meat from the soup and they go well together, like au jus.
100_2781.JPG

 Thanks GIP for the quesadilla tip, they went good with the Birria.
100_2784.JPG

 
Good to the last drop, I drank the rest of that meat broth.

And this was a long ass day making a taco but the payoff was awesome.
