That was exactly my issue - why heat a quart of oil to make 2 tacos? :) But Peabody is right, deep fried is sooooooooo good.<BR/><BR/>Hi Christine! Welcome!!

I saw some of your postings on the chow.com Southwest bb's and started reading your blog. I began reading other blogs and you inspired me to start my own.

Of course, a low fat food :)Peabodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16153432137711301559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27715620.post-24126896188826679892007-05-19T18:32:00.000-07:002007-05-19T18:32:00.000-07:00The genius tip is your shell.I usually buy the sto...The genius tip is your shell.<BR/><BR/>I usually buy the store bought kind (blah) or use flour torillas for soft tacos.<BR/><BR/>And here's the rub: I've worked in 2 Mexican restaurants and we always made the shells by dunking corn tortillas in hot oil, which is fine when making hundreds - but kind of a pain when you just want a few at home. Who wants to heat up a vat of oil to make 6 taco shells? When I saw your pics, the first thing I thought was "how did she get those authentic shells at home?"<BR/><BR/>It never occured to me that you can simply oil them up and bake them on the oven rack. <BR/><BR/>Brilliant!jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741480776385446151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27715620.post-39508381698277150032007-05-19T16:36:00.000-07:002007-05-19T16:36:00.000-07:00I love these tacos - I too, grew up on many of the...I love these tacos - I too, grew up on many of these. I hate to admit it, but it these are really good with a slice of the processed American cheese - definitely Americanized that way!!!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741861711308777389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27715620.post-3511837990663163182007-05-19T12:56:00.000-07:002007-05-19T12:56:00.000-07:00Hi Lis!

What exactly is veggie mince - is it soy-based? Is it texturized vegetable protein made to look like ground beef? As long as you like it and it tastes good. :)Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12481650190019626313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27715620.post-63222461555706372742007-05-19T09:26:00.000-07:002007-05-19T09:26:00.000-07:00Kirsten, I was literally cursing myself out for fo...Kirsten, I was literally cursing myself out for forgetting to pick up taco shells at the supermarket (and veggie mince as I don't like hamburger, ironic considering our current foodie event) and now this!

I also was thinking of heading to Taco Bell at lunch time, but I managed to stop myself. hehe<BR/><BR/>We didn't have any - but now that I see yours (gorgeous!) I wish we had.. course there's always tonight. :D<BR/>xoxoLishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631520734280170415noreply@blogger.com
