Answer 2

Depends on what type of tacos you'd like. Let's stick to the basics...Steak tacos. First, the most important part of the taco is the meat. For the best taste you need to marinate your steak for a couple of hours. You can buy thinly cut steak and place it in a nice seasoning (salt & garlic powder is all I use). Then, Chop the steak up into little strips and sautee it until well cook. Second...the tortillas. And I'm not talking about the hard shelled kind. The best tacos are made with homemade tortillas. All you have to do is mix water with "Maseca" (corn flour) and shape your tortillas to preferred size. Or you can just buy some at a grocery store...save you the trouble. Third...the salsa...simple...for a small portion of salsa, boil 2 vine ripe tomatoes and 3 jalapenos. When fully cooked, blend with a bit of onion, garlic and salt. Simple...ok maybe not so simple...

Answer 4

in the USA are not authentical Mexican Tacos ,they are tacos for Americans and in Mexico does not exist a Taco bell

everybody sells tacos at every street corners and in front of the houses ,it is the most commom business that is done from the home ,the other is Tiendas ,small shops that sell essentials

authentical mexican tacos can contain dog meat ,often is goat or pork including chopped stomach and other internal organs like kidneys and liver,and only the most trusted taco stands ,have cows meat ,although they found in Mexico City that a lot of people were using Horse and donkey meat ,saying it was cow.
