> Thanks Carol! Gosh, I feel like I have a PhD in Taco Chemistry As if..... These are all gringo affectations. Authentic tacos are very different. Picture two small corn tortillas, deep/pan fried in lard until pliable, then paired together and folded, then filled with a prepared meat such as cabeza, carnitas, birria, etc, and topped with finely chopped onion and cilantro. None of that burger meat, cheese, iceberg, and tomatoes nonsense. Gringos call them "soft" tacos. Mexicans call them tacos. Granted, these are NorCal-style Mexican tacos, but they are more authentic than those hard/crispy pre-formed corn taco shells filled with Taco Bell ingredients. One thing is sure, I've never EVER seen any taco made with a flour tortilla. nb --Mexican cuisine loving gringo |

That's probably what you do, add scotch bonnet to canned sloppy joe... there's absolutely no rule that says chili must be fiery hot. I make chili often because it's an very easy one pot dish, and freezes well so I make a lot. I've no desire to send my guests to a proctologist so I add very little heat but I supply plenty of hot pepper for folks to add to their individual taste... sounds like you're one of those control freaks who also salts food for guests to your taste. The only reason for chili to be prepared fiery hot is to hide the fact that it's lousy chili made with crappy mystery ingredients... I don't use preground mystery meat, I grind my own. I've attended a few chili cook offs, every one made with preground mystery meat. They are mainly judged on who's is hottest, that's an imbecile's cook off for who's got the most advanced TIAD. I've prepared chili for lots of chiliheads, everyone prefered mine to any they've ever eaten before, and even before they tasted it they said they knew it would be good just from the aroma and its appearance... you'll find my recipe in the RFC Cookbook... I prepare chili with beans and without, I prefer with black beans but sometimes dark red kidney, I never cared for pinto beans, they've no real flavor and have an off putting slimey texture. Here's mine, show us yours, if you da http://i59.tinypic.com/2aeno5.jpg |

I don't like corn chips either, they are analogious to Pringles... when I want chips I want real potato chips, not fakes formed from ground paste. Corn chips are no different from cheese doodles, in fact nachos made with cheese doodles are far better than those made with corn chips. Nachos is not Mexican food either, it's TEX-mex... no self respecting Mexican would eat nachos. |

There oughta be a better name than "Taco Bell-type tacos) for the crispy-shell seasoned-burger, fake cheese and lettuce variety of taco. I've had more feasible versions of this in "big plate" Mexican-ish chain restaurants (e.g. El Torito, El Chico, et al), where they weren't junk food, just a variation on a "real taco". |

You contradicted yourself within a single post. "...there's absolutely no rule that says chili must be fiery hot." Looks like there is, unwritten or not. > I've prepared chili for lots of > chiliheads, everyone prefered mine to any they've ever eaten before, > and even before they tasted it they said they knew it would be good > just from the aroma and its appearance... you'll find my recipe in the > RFC Cookbook...
