We use this basic recipe and tweak a little bit, adding in a bit more orange juice than it calls for. If you don't like jalapenos or spicy food, you can sub poblano peppers in. They are not as spicy but have good flavor.<br /> <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian/pork-carnitas-recipe/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian/pork-carnitas-recipe/index.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos/page/2#post-1070255 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 11:47:38 +0000 spinningry 1070255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lean ground turkey with taco seasoning, black beans, brown rice, avacado, spinach, salsa, my husband has cheese, all in a multi-grain tortilla. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos/page/2#post-1070174 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 11:19:23 +0000 Mrsbells 1070174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I get the old el paso kits with a mix of soft and hard tacos., i cook ground turkey with onions and peppers, then I heat up the ol el paso refried beans.

My husband makes them, so I'll have to ask him.</p> <p>For carne asada, we use tri-tip steak (they are strips). Just sprinkle with a little garlic salt, S&amp;P and squeeze of lime juice, then just grill or broil until crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside (usually like 3 minutes per side on the grill). Very quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos/page/2#post-1070064 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 10:42:24 +0000 sarac 1070064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cook corn and black beans with taco seasoning for my daughter often. If we have grilled corn left over, I'll make a huge batch with grilled onions and peppers. Then we'll put that into tortillas or shells with cheese and salsa and sour cream, maybe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos/page/2#post-1069918 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 09:54:39 +0000 mediagirl 1069918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In order:<br /> Hard shell.<br /> Ground beef or chicken.<br /> Cheese (so it melts on the meat)<br /> Onions<br /> Lettuce<br /> Tomatoes<br /> Jalapenos<br /> Sour Cream </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos#post-1069890 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 09:45:26 +0000 blackbird 1069890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch, this was the recipe: <a href="http://projects.washingtonpost.com/recipes/2011/03/16/turkey-breast-and-gravy/" rel="nofollow">http://projects.washingtonpost.com/recipes/2011/03/16/turkey-breast-and-gravy/</a> </p> <p>the gravy was thin, so i could've done with less liquid.

And the only way hubs likes it seems to be just plain ground beef, shreded lettuce, tomatoes, cheese. Anything extra - beans or rice or whatnot - are just not for him. He's just not into Mexican.</p> <p>I, on the other hand, looooooooooooove Mexican food and haven't had it in forever. Now I want tacos... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos#post-1069781 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 09:05:35 +0000 sslm 1069781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: How much chicken, and how much salsa? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos#post-1069778 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 09:04:46 +0000 sslm 1069778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: how much chicken?

Top with grated cheese, avacado or quick guacamole that I throw together, sour cream, lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and taco sauce. Yum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos#post-1069163 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:18:56 +0000 yoursilverlining 1069163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: we have tacos at least once a week, come on over! :D my husband taught me how to cook, and he usually cooks (WIN!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos#post-1069154 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:09:43 +0000 MediaNaranja 1069154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: anytime ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos#post-1069057 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 21:25:23 +0000 regberadaisy 1069057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: I want to come over for taco night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos#post-1069053 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 21:24:47 +0000 Mae 1069053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ground turkey cooked with chopped onion and a can of diced green chilis + taco seasoning.

Flour tortillas filled with refried black beans, cheese, and an egg.</p> <p>I also like to make pupusas (filled corn tortillas) with beans, pork and cheese. I put cabbage slaw on top :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos#post-1068866 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 20:29:36 +0000 MrsBrewer 1068866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: let me know when you're eating any of those!

Did you have to learn? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos#post-1068832 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 20:25:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1068832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: yummy those sound delicious! My BIL is Peruvian; I visited Peru twice and my sister has perfected making the local cuisine herself and its so delicious. </p> <p>@locavore_mama: ooh that sounds amazing.</p> <p>@HLK208: yum! I love steak! Wish it wasn't so expensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos#post-1068524 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:31:43 +0000 yoursilverlining 1068524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Ours is very easy - just mix yours up to taste, depending on what you like. Shredded cabbage, shredded carrot (I do about half a head of green cabbage to 1 carrot), red onion, jalapeno or serrano peppers, juice of about 1/2 a lime, bit of olive oil just to mix everything together, S&amp;P. Very fresh and crunchy.</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: They are very easy and sooooooooo good. Just slice up raw chicken, add to about 2 cups of tomatillo salsa (we make ours, but you can buy pretty good jarred sauce as well), simmer for about 10 minutes, until cooked or just about cooked. Add in about 3-4 cups of green, wilt them down for about 10 minutes. Add mixture to warm tortillas, top with sour cream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos#post-1068466 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:19:57 +0000 immabeetoo 1068466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos#post-1068446 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:13:50 +0000 LovelyPlum 1068446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love tacos in the crock pot: add frozen chicken breast, black beans, sometimes peppers, and salsa in the crock pot for 4 hours. Add corn, cook for half an hour and serve on corn tortillas. I also love tacos made from shredded beef that's marinated and cooked in the crock pot.</p> <p>We usually serve ours with cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. Yum :)</p> <p>ETA: also love them in lettuce cups! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-make-your-tacos#post-1068432 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:11:08 +0000 prettylizy 1068432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ground meat, onion and pepper with taco spices. Piled into tortilla with salsa, sour cream, lettuce tomat and cheese. </p>
