You can keep the cilantro and cumin. Extra grease is okay, though.

"hamburger"

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Must be shredded beef!

Or shredded chicken or, if you can do them right, without making them mushy, fish (snapper works great here).

TG is right on in post #4. Shredded meat is much, much better -- it really absorbs the flavors and has a much better texture. (And don't forget shredded pork!)

And #5 is right, too: if you've never fried corn tortillas into taco shells, you're missing out. It only takes two minutes in hot canola oil and it takes a merely "good" taco and makes it into something "excelente"!

Good catch Gene. I never made it past the "ground beef" part.

Shredded beef is the best, though I had some tacos in Tucson, AZ made with fajita meat that were heavenly.

That works too.

Just so long as it isn't ground beef.

Ground beef is for burgers.

Chew Jack Chew!

Shreded beef is the way to go for tacos. Ground beef in a taco? Must be some kind of Tex-Mex BS!

Yeah, probably thought up by the same people who like Miracle Whip.

big chief-

that's how we used have tacos at home when we were kids....I think hamburger was cheaper and therefore the meat of choice for homemade tacos...

shredded beef is yummy

---that is for the taco elitists 😉 ahahahhah
