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!
 
🔥 PRIME RIBEYE STEAK TACOS WITH SPICY PINEAPPLE PICO DE GALLO 🌶🍍🌮

Hit these two prime ribeye steaks with Hook’s “Mad Cow” BBQ rub, then threw them on the Kamado Joe at 275° until the I.T. was about 128°, then reverse seared them over direct heat, and let them rest under a foil tent for a few minutes while I assembled the tacos. Finished at a perfect medium rare 👍🏻

Are you taking orders? Uber Eats maybe?!
 
leftover Costco rotisserie chicken tacos

chopped thigh meat reheated on comal

toasted some fresh white corn tortillahs

fresh pico

no queso fresco in house so shredded some mild fresh cheese I had in fridge.

pulled skin off and fried to crispy cracker then chopped fine for crunchy topping

mandadory fresh lime and hot sauce.
I normally reserve the clearly guilty for oysters but even with the lime I wanted an extra punch of acidity.

not the greatest pic but I was too hungry to do more than a fast snap.

@Grass Snake Yeah, man. It really sucks :mope:


I’ve been reading this entire taco thread from the beginning, over the last couple of days (it’s a GREAT thread, front to back, lol). GIP’s posts always cracked me up :rofl: Not only was he a great cook, but he was just a great human being all around. I miss that dude, man. I’m honored to be able to have called him a friend 😔 :cheers:
