How about a Taco Tuesday Thread?

As one Mexican-American chef put it, "Anyone who lives in L.A. is at least 5% Mexican either by blood or proximity." And why restrict it to L.A.? Tacos rock!

The ingredients could have been configured as tacos, but they weren't. Drizzle some Hatch green chile enchilada sauce on the dish. Put corn tortillas on it. A little more sauce and some shredded chicken. A bit of cheese. Keep layering. Bake at 350F until bubbly and a little brown. View attachment 49896

Sounds like a recipe for Taco Lasagna.

It sure does. I have always thought that of stacked enchiladas. I figured out years ago that the enchilar part of making enchiladas, dipping the tortillas in hot enchilada sauce so they could be filled and rolled, was not that much fun and all too often yielded a few cracked or torn tortillas that refused to hold together. It greatly added to my already very high respect for Mexican cooks.

I always use flour tortillas for enchiladas. They don't fall apart as easily.

Dayam those look good! If only we can add a bit of red sauce, maybe a smidgen of hard grate Romano, and since you're asking, some linguine!

Yum! The Taco tray pictured above is enough for me, but not enough to share. SWMBO's just going to have to go get her own! LOL.

Yesterday (Tuesday) we had five layer breakfast tacos for the all important first meal of the day.

This morning I had a machaca and egg with avocado taco for breakfast. It turns out that machaca is simply beef jerky shredded in the blender and sautéed before you pour the scrambled egg over it. Simple and utterly delicious. And don't forget the red chili sauce.
