contest BEGIN! Taco Throwdown

[The Hot Pepper]

Neat! I like the boozy fruit... but the pear better! I love cooked pear, coconut, chocolate crepes! So why not this? The havarti, good choice.

Man, being allergic to shellfish makes me cringe seeing ground up shells. That would be insta-death for me lol.

Wow hot stuff! Now I can't wait to take my time reading the rest of the entries.
 
 
LOL, thp! No, I dropped the bowl before even getting to fill a shell - tupperware, so it went a-bouncing, sending filling sailing with each bounce. And good times were had by all! 

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Cool HS!

The marinating meats and cooking tortillas are good/appetizing pics too, you have 2 left if you want to use in this post!

 

[cypresshill1973]

After 2 hours of marinating the steak in seasoning mix and lime juice, is so.
 

 
Then we started to cook the steak
 

 
Meanwhile cook the breaded chicken with homemade jerk sauce in the electric convection oven.
 

 
And of couse some shrimps...
 

 
meanwhile I choped the vegetables...
 

 
At the end is near lunchtime ... It looked very rich and I opened the appetite haha

Tacos de Domingo
 
 
Although I come from too much food covered by Easter. No part of TD wanted to not eat too much, but we are here haha.
 
 
My tacos will be something simple. Meat, chicken and seafood
 
Ingredients.
 
1 piece Steak, 1 piece breaded chicken and shrimps.Tomatoes and nira (chinese chives) from my garden. Onion and lettuce. We also use a cast time last cheese, pickled peppers and spicy sauces.
 
 
Cooking
 
The breaded chicken was cooked into the electric oven (convection air sistem) covered to both sides with homemade Jerk sauce. Were cut in slices more late.
The steak is a tampiqueño stile seasoning for 2 hours. The marinate that I use was a casa fiesta season mix and lime juice
Before I cooked on the griddle.

The shrimp as well cook on the griddle. Only put salt, black pepper and lime juice
 
Preparation:
 
Chop the onion, tomatoes and lettuce. I used a flour tortillas from market, then warmed on the grill 20 seconds on each side.

I put a bit of each ingredient on the tortillas. So as make an tacos es very easy, no more more to write, just eat my fresh tacos
