shredded beef, pork, fish et all is great. but every once in awhile perfectly seasoned ground beef hits the spot.

but miracle whip still sucks

since grease is a key ingredient to the venerable taco, ground meat/hamburger is de rigeur protien component in this dish.

I'm not sayin' carne asada, chicken, or carnitas are not legitimate--simply less greasy, and therefore producing a taco far, far below the gourmet level it can attain when ground meat is used as the key ingredient.

I never met a taco I didn't like.....and I understand Big Chief completely.

Are "kit tacos" legit w.r.t. culinary standards?......hard to say.

Are they delicious? Hell yeah.

Also, I love fish tacos (fried or smoked fish), and barbecoa tacos w/ onions cilantro, and lime.

guilty pleasure: jack in the box tacos....
