Lol im getting mixed up here. which is the nicest - crunchy taco shells or soft tortilla 'authentic' tacos?

Both are delicious, but i like soft corn torillas grilled on a hot oiled griddle or pan. Fill them with diced (not ground) beef and minced onion, top with fresh cillantro and maybe a touch of fresh homemade salsa. Guadalahara style, just like the taqueria back home makes.



Crunchy tacos are good too, but you can get a crunchy shell filled with ground or minced beef anywhere. Even as fast-food. By the way, did you know that Taco Bell started as a Hot dog and hamburger stand that only sold tacos as a novelty? Glen Bell was surprised to find that the tacos sold better than the "American" food, and the rest is history.

old el paso (if thats how you spell it) stand 'n' stuff taco shells rock. they stand up so you dont have to hold them, they fit more in and they have the best flavour!
Reply:Which one is "nicer" depends upon your tastes! I'm not a big fan of holdign a soggy floru tortilla w/ hot stuff rolled up into it, so I prefer corn/crispy. But if the flour tortilla is fried (and is therefore crispy), I'll take it.
Reply:i prefer soft.
Reply:you can layer them with beans spread between them to make a taco bravo or I myself fry flour tortillas in a little bit of oil to make them crunchy.
Reply:My daughter and I prefer the crunchy taco shells and my husband prefers the soft tortillas, so when I make a taco bar, I have both on hand.
Reply:You can make a combo! I usually have both around so my guests can pick and choose :)



If using corn shells (hard) make sure to heat them for 5 minutes at 350F to crisp up.



If using soft flour tortillas, place them on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 30 seconds or a minute until heated.
