Now I realize there are purest out there who say a real taco should only be served in a shell with dry seasoned meat, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream etc. So to them I say “pishshaw”…I’m a out side of the box kind of lady who loves throwing caution to the wind with my cooking and baking…. My husband likes this with the traditional shells but I like to eat this with Frito's scoops.
