As posted earlier I'll be trying to duplicate Jack in the Box Tacos
for my taco/margarita party at the end of the month...currently
experimenting on the Jack recipe (bean/meat "paste" filling) and the
closest thing I've found (or come up with) is the filling inside
canned Hormel Tamales...I pulled out all of the tamale filling and
added a few ingredients, ran it all through a fine mesh sieve several
times and piped it into the taco shells (not quite Jacks taco shells
but close enough), froze, then deep fried in smoking hot lard and
filled them with a bit of lettuce and chili catsup (just like Jack in
the Box) ~ viola` I'm in the ball park...I'll need to refine it a bit
but at least I'm on the right track...Now the question is can I
produce 300 of them in a cost effective manner?

Thanks to all those posters that offered up thoughts or solutions...As
for Chemo the Clown he couldn't solve pouring **** out of a boot!

Why don't you just buy a ton of frozen ones from Jack In The Box and fry
them as needed.

***As I stated in an earlier thread I sort of wanted to "get the
credit" from our guests for putting on a great party without going out
and "buying it" if you know what I mean...The meal tastes so much
better when you know the host put in the work to put on the
spread...Anyone can get it catered, I just wanted to prepare it
myself...Sure, in the long run its probably cheaper to order it from
JitB but that's not how I roll...That's how that idiot Clown-tard
rolls...But like I said, I need to try to do 300 tacos cost
effectively...:-)

Butt Out Chemo, your comments will go unread!

Well, it sounds as though Sandra Lee would approve.

There's a thought. The guy should ask Sandra Lee
for help. Heck, maybe he could get her to do a show
at his party.
