How do you make tacos?

I buy the packaged taco shells. I like the Ortega brand. Then I brown some ground meat and add the taco seasoning packet. I shred some sharp cheese, lettuce and cut up some tomatoes. My husband and I also like to use some hot sauce on top of our tacos.

I don't use the store bought seasoning mix. I make my own. Here is it if you want to try it sometime. 1 tbsp. chili powder 2 tsp. onion powder 1 tsp. each ground cumin, garlic powder, paprika, powdered oregano and sugar 1/2 tsp. salt Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Makes 3 tablespoons of seasoning mix, which is equal in strength to a 1/4 ounce package of commercial seasoning mix.

We love tacos here at our house too. I start out with flour tortillas, spread some re-fried beans on there and then cook the beef and add taco bell seasoning to it. When it's finished put the beef on the tortilla, add lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, olives, sour cream, guacamole, red sauce. Good and simple. Sometimes if I don't feel like eating beef, I just put some black beans on there instead of beef. It's really good.

Taco's are a MUST HAVE in our household. My husband is Mexican and my son is a Taco freak. We make a few different kinds of Taco's. The ones that you make are a lot like the ones my mother used to make and very similar to the ones I make as well. I dice up onions and let them cook in a very small amount of Canola Oil. Then I add ground hamburger and brown that until it's done. At the same time, I'm frying up corn tortillas in a pan of oil. I fold them in half to make the taco shape as they are cooking. We grate up jack and cheddar cheese. Chop lettuce and dice tomatoes. We always have sour cream and salsa out as well. When everything is done, we assemble our taco's and enjoy. Nom nom nom :) When I do not feel like cooking the shells to look like taco's, I will often make Tostada's instead. I do everything the same except I fry the corn tortillas flat like a tostada and we heat up refried beans to put on them when they are done before we add all of the other ingredients. (We just had this last night! Very yummy!) Another type of taco is the authentic Mexican style soft tacos. My husband will cook Carne Asada on the BBQ and then we chop it up and place into the middle of corn tortillas that have been heated up on the stove. (there are two ways, we use an old fashioned mexican style pan that is flat and heat the tortillas on both sides.. or place them in a plastic grocery bag and put into the microwave for about 2 minutes until soft and hot). After we place the meat in the tortilla, then we add homemade guacamole and salsa. They are addicting!! The last taco that I make is a family favorite. It's actually very weird but really delicious. My sister-in-law is the first one to introduce them to me and when you eat them, you just think they are "ok" but when you stop eating them.. about 1 hour later, you will be craving them! They are "Potato Taco's". You cook up mashed potatoes. Then you warm up corn tortillas in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Take the tortillas, place a little bit of mashed potatoes in the middle and then fold in half. Do this with as many tacos as you want to make. Then place each taco into a very hot pan of oil and fry until crispy. When they are done, take them out and place on a paper towel to drain. While they are still hot, you will want to place a slice of white Mexican cheese down into each taco. I buy a brand called Ranchero and it's located near the regular cheeses in the store. It's round in shape. After you are done frying all of the taco's... add shredded lettuce and tomatoes and Tapatio Salsa - then enjoy! I was coming home from work one day and pulled into my driveway. I was met by my son and about 4 of his friends - begging me to make them Potato Taco's. So I spent the next 2 hours making a ton of taco's for them and they ate ALL OF THEM! Taco's are very very yummy!

I don't make tacos as fancy as you do. I take the ground beef and fry it up and then use a taco spice seasoning. I then open a package of hard shell and soft shell tacos, cut up lettuce and tomatoes, put out shredded cheese and taco sauce. I always serve tacos with Spanish Rice which cooks in the microwave for 20 minutes. Quick and easy.

Great hair on a very cute son!! Beautiful plate! Hehehe. Yeah, that's pretty much the standard way my family makes them too, although I like to experiment with stuff like 'lime-chicken soft tacos', 'oxacan tacos', or even 'thai chicken, black bean & mango tortilla rolls'. Of course many members of my family will always prefer just plain ole tacos, hehehe.

I boil my hamburger meat before adding taco seasoning to it and my family loves the smooth texture of it.

hmmm,i love to make tacos and i will share an easy and delicious recipe with you my friend: easy tacos Ingredients * 1 lb lean ground beef * 1 yellow onion, minced * 4-5 cloves garlic, minced * 2 teaspoons ground cumin * 2 teaspoons ground allspice * 2 teaspoons chili powder * 1 teaspoon salt * 1 tablespoon flour or masa harina (optional) * 1/2 cup water for tacos and toppings * 6-8 crispy taco shells or flour tortillas, warmed * chopped tomato, to taste (optional) * shredded iceberg lettuce, to taste (optional) * shredded cheddar cheese or colby-monterey jack cheese, to taste (optional) * sour cream, to taste (optional) * taco sauce or salsa, to taste (optional) Directions Brown beef with onion and garlic, and drain any accumulated fat. Add spices and water, and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens (or warms through if not using flour/masa). Serve meat in tacos (warm taco shells in over for 5-7 minutes until they crisp, or warm tortillas briefly in microwave) with toppings of choice.

They really sound delicious but I'm not sure FRIED tortillas, hamburger OR sour cream would be considered that healthy! They sound really tasty though.

i love the tomato flavour.where i get a chance i eat as many as i can can.fried tacos are really great in taste.and have little to waste in for. if you have a great food lover then you will definitely love the fried tacos.

KaMIBob, Not sure I have any fresh ideas for you, but I fry my flour tortillas and use the basic items: hamburger meat, taco seasons, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, hot sauce, cheese, onions, beans, and whatever else I am be in the mood to put on it. Oh! Let us not forget the Flan.
