![]() I took her chicken + rice and red mole sauce with a little shredded gruyere and made it into tacos last night. ![]() Speaking of tacos my wife considers this blasphemy but I don't give a fuck! I'm a gringo on a taco bender and aint nothing gonna stop me, she can only hope to contain me. But word got out eventually and those rumors eventually turned into what we see today in taco shell tongs. ![]() And that tool was kept secret by the two brothers for decades like it was cold war nuclear codes or something. The trick though is the tool used to fold it and keep it puffy otherwise if it stays flat it's a tostada. I like doing it because that hot air keeps the warmer warm and they get a little steamed from it.ĭeep frying a tortilla does the same thing but it will stay puffy since it's fried to a crisp.

I get this craving and I'll eat tacos until there are no more tacos to be had! There's a pretty good spot here in Austin with some great puffy tacos but Ray's or Henry's down in SA is worth the trip. In fact now you got me craving some and might need to take a drive. ![]() And those things are the fucking pride of San Antonio! When it comes to Tex-Mex cuisine, it starts with the puffy taco.
