I would get served tacos as a kid except it was like the laziest meal. I was expected to make my own taco. Um, excuse me mum, but if you're going to cook for me,
I expect it ready to eat.
Also, what used to annoy me is that it would be the hard tacos, so everything would just fall out. Disaster.
Soft tacos are actually more authentic Mexican cuisine. Hard tacos are a Tex-Mex thing. Also, soft tacos are easily to eat because they don't fall to bits.
I used to use the Old El Paso taco kits with the pre-made spice and salsa to make this dish. Butm I was up for a challenge, so, naturally I created my own spice mix.
It works out cheaper as well.
