Puffy Tacos...

[janabanana]

I'm watching Bobby Flay Throwdown in San Antonio, and they're doing Puffy Tacos.. OMG! They look fabulous! I have never heard of anything like that.. So all you Texan's, is that a common way for you to have your tacos?

I didn't see it, but most MX restaurants here have puffed or puffy tacos.....small shells about the size /shape of a cupcake and filled with seasoned meat (beef or chicken) and topped with lettuce/tomatoes/onion/cheese. Is that what he was making?

I don't care for puffy tacos myself, but that's how my dil prefers her tacos. And that restaurant that was featured in that show, is one of the best mexican restaurants here in town, great food and very good margaritas.

OMG TX!! You're so bad! I just realized what you're thinking ! LOL !!

Gayle, they didn't look small like cupcakes to me. Just a puffy taco shell fill with shredded meat, lettuce, onion maybe, cheese and quacamole..

Jana, I have been to several Mexican Restaurants around here and seen the Puffy Tacos on the menu. I've always been intrigued, but never ordered them. So - Looks like it's time for me to "man up" and take one for the team! I am going to make it a point now to try them! Some day this week. I will let you know.. Beef or chicken? Fajita meat or ground? I'm good with either. Your wish is my command. Just let me know!

Re: Puffy Tacos...

Re: Puffy Tacos...

They remind me of a flour tortilla deep fried and folded in half while frying.. Then filled with whatever you want. But these are made with masa..

Lauren, I think you will be pleasantly surprised...they are light as air and very tasty. I prefer the ground beef ones, but the chicken are also good...just depends on your personnal taste. Never had them with any fajita meat...think that may make them a bit heavy. Enjoy yourself when you go to try them Hun!
